Abstract:

Based on heterogeneous Ad hoc network, study of unidirectional link, low overhead routing based on unidirectional link (LORUL) is designed, LORUL can improve the network connectivity by the detection and use of unidirectional link, it also decrease control overheard by special method. LORUL is evaluated in simulation, it is shown that the performance is better than the traditional routing mechanism on the control overheard, the decrease on the endtoend delay and the throughput is quite small. It is also shown that LORUL suits for the scenario with low node density. 

Key words: mobile Ad hoc networks, unidirectional link, routing protocol, control overhead
