A Discussion on Developing Multihop Routing Metrics Sensitive to Node Mobility

TL;DR

This paper discusses parameters and heuristics for multihop routing that improve sensitivity to node mobility, introducing two new heuristics based on link duration and comparing them across various mobility scenarios.

Contribution

It proposes two novel heuristics based on link duration to enhance multihop routing sensitivity to node mobility, expanding existing parameter discussions.

Findings

New heuristics outperform existing ones in mobility scenarios

Link duration-based heuristics improve route stability

Comparative analysis across diverse mobility conditions

Abstract

This paper is focused on a discussion of parameters and heuristics that are expected to assist multihop routing in becoming more sensitive to node mobility. We provide a discussion concerning existing and a few proposed parameters. Moreover, the work also discusses two new heuristics based on the notion of link duration. The heuristics are compared based on a meaningful set of scenarios that attain different mobility aspects.
