Abstract:

In order to reduce the overhead of networks, a new routing method, in which the nodes update the link states via using the frames transmitted by way of broadcasting in media access control layer, was proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed method can reduce the amount of the control packets and the probability of the occurrence of congestion, and then it can increase the throughput of the network. Furthermore, simulation result proves that the new method will significantly reduce the overhead.

Key words: Ad hoc, link state, overhead, Hello packet
