Abstract:

A Congestion-aware Multipath Routing (CMR) algorithm for wireless ad hoc networks is presented in this paper.In the route discovery,the probability of each node forwarding rout is dynamically adjusted according to the queue size and the number of route hops in route request message.This strategy could reduce network routing load,and guarantee the most nodes to receive the packet.In the route selection and demands distribution,the proposed algorithm is based on the node queue length and the link quality as routing metric to find high throughput and low congestion routes and to distribute the demands among the multiple paths.Simulation shows that the proposed multipath routing algorithm can significantly improve the network performance.
