A Novel QoS Routing Algorithm in Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology, people’s daily life becomes more and more dependent on wireless technologies. Wireless mesh network consists of a number of characteristics associated with the return path, with a strong fault tolerance, stability, widely used by the light to the city network construction, military applications, and key service providers and other fields. Compared with traditional wired communication technologies, how to provide qualified QoS routing service is a primary problem for wireless mesh networks waiting for effective solution. Regarding this problem, this paper applys the theory of Evolutionary Game to QoS routing algorithm for wireless mesh networks and proposed a novel algorithm called EGWRA which can not only improve the performance of traditional QoS routing protocols but also be able to reduce the cost of the routing algorithm. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i3.2321
