HEAT: Scalable Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks Using Temperature Fields

Tags: unicast, mobility, ip, network, data

Overview Existing unicast routing protocols like for example AODV are not suited well for wireless mesh networks as in such networks, most traffic flows between a large number of mobile nodes and a few access points with Internet connectivity. This paper proposes HEAT, an anycast routing protocol for this type of communication that is designed to scale to the network size and to be robust to node mobility. HEAT relies on a temperature field to route data packets towards the Internet gateways, as follows. Every node is assigned a temperature value, and packets are routed along increasing temperature values until they reach any of the Internet gateways, which are modeled as heat sources.
