Abstract:
Ground surveillance networks are an important application of mobile ad hoc networks. The mobile nodes used in such applications benefit by a compact set of protocols that focus on reliable and timely data delivery. A solution that allows for closely integrated operation of routing, medium access control (MAC) and clustering is presented in this article, where clustering is used to improve data aggregation. The solution is evaluated for its performance and compared with two schemes using Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) and Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing over wireless LAN 802.11 MAC. Significant performance improvements indicate the potential for integrated approaches.
