Routing for Wireless Multi-Hop Networks

The focus of this brief is to identify what unifies and what distinguishes the routing functions in four wireless multi—hop network paradigms. The brief introduces a generic routing model that can be used as a foundation of wireless multi—hop routing prool analysis and design. It demonstrates that such model can be adopted by any wireless multi—hop routing prool. Also presented is a glimpse of the ideal wireless multi—hop routing prool along with several open issues.
