Abstract
Dynamic nature of mobility in wireless networks has paved way for a new paradigm of communication in this era. Routing protocol design for hybrid wireless network is critical in order to improve the performance and reliability of the network. A good routing scheme increases the packet delivery ratio and the throughput of the network and thus improves the quality of service. Opportunistic Routing (OR) technique attempts to deal with unreliable transmissions by utilizing the broadcast nature and spatial diversity of the wireless medium, in an efficient manner [3].
OR scheme used in ad hoc networks gives lesser throughput than expected when minimum hop count metric is used. To combat the above limitations, an Extremely Opportunistic Routing (ExOR) scheme with ETX metric is proposed and implemented for a hybrid scenario. The simulation study reveals that this routing technique efficiently utilizes resources and increases the end-to-end throughput and the packet delivery ratio.
