MPoolODMRP: An Extended PoolODMRP based on Multi-path Policy

An ad hoc network is a multi-hop wireless network of mobile nodes without fixed infrastructure. We have proposed PoolODMRP to adapt limited bandwidth and frequently changing topology of ad hoc network. However, PoolODMRP does not make full use of its multiple paths by distributing its data load over these paths. Therefore, in this paper, we propose MPoolODMRP (Multipath PoolODMRP) to extend PoolODMRP. MPoolODMRP distributes its data overhead over multipath based on diversity coding. The simulation results show that the data overhead and the data delivery delay of MPoolODMRP are much lower than that of PoolODMRP
