A new approach to on-demand loop-free routing in ad hoc networks

Published:13 July 2003Publication History

ABSTRACT

A new protocol is presented for on-demand loop-free routing in ad hoc networks. The new protocol, called labeled distance routing (LDR) protocol, uses a distance invariant to establish an ordering criterion and per-destination sequence numbers to reset the invariant resulting in loop-freedom at every instant. The distance invariant allows nodes to change their next hops or distances to destinations without creating routing-table loops. The destination sequence number, which only the destination may increment, permits nodes to reset the values of their distance invariants. The performance of LDR is compared against the performance of three other protocols that are representative of the state-of-the art, namely AODV, DSR and OLSR.
