A Geographical Routing Protocol for Highly-dynamic Aeronautical Networks

Abstract

Emerging networked systems require domain-specific routing protocols to cope with the challenges faced by the aeronautical environment. We present a geographic routing protocol AeroRP for multihop routing in highly dynamic MANETs. The AeroRP algorithm uses velocity-based heuristics to deliver the packets to destinations in a multi-Mach speed environment. Furthermore, we present the decision metrics used to forward the packets by the various AeroRP operational modes. The analysis of the ns-3 simulations shows AeroRP has several advantages over other MANET routing protocols in terms of PDR, accuracy, delay, and overhead. Moreover, AeroRP offers performance tradeoffs in the form of different AeroRP modes.
