Proceedings ArticleDOI
A high-throughput path metric for multi-hop wireless routing
TL;DR: Measurements taken from a 29-node 802.11b test-bed demonstrate the poor performance of minimum hop-count, illustrate the causes of that poor performance, and confirm that ETX improves performance.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A scalable location service for geographic ad hoc routing
TL;DR: GLS combined with geographic forwarding allows the construction of ad hoc mobile networks that scale to a larger number of nodes than possible with previous work, and compares favorably with Dynamic Source Routing.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Capacity of Ad Hoc wireless networks
TL;DR: The question “Are large ad hoc networks feasible?” reduces to a question about the likely locality of communication in such networks, and it is shown that for total capacity to scale up with network size the average distance between source and destination nodes must remain small as the network grows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of multihop wireless networks: shortest path is not enough
TL;DR: Experimental evidence from two wireless test-beds shows that there are usually multiple minimum hop-count paths, many of which have poor throughput, and suggests that more attention be paid to link quality when choosing ad hoc routes.
Dissertation
High-throughput routing for multi-hop wireless networks
TL;DR: Measurements taken from a 29-node 802.11b test-bed show that using ETX improves performance significantly over the widely-used minimum hop-count metric, suggesting that ETX will become more useful as networks grow larger and paths become longer.
