Fisheye state routing: a routing scheme for ad hoc wireless networks

Abstract- This paper presents a novel routing protocol for wireless ad hoc networks- Fisheye State Routing (FSR). FSR introduces the notion of multi-level fisheye scope to reduce routing update overhead in large net-works. Nodes exchange link state entries with their neighbors wirh a fre-quency which depends on distance to destination. From link state entrier:, nodes construct the topology map of the entire network and compute opti-mal routes. Simulation experiments show that FSR D a simple, eficient an(d scalable routing solution in a mobile, ad hoc environment. I. INTRODUCTION AND RELATED WORK Ad hoc wireless networks are self-organizing, self-configuring and instantly deployable in response to applica-tion needs without a fixed infrastructure existence. Therefore:, ad hoc networks are very attractive for tactical communica
