Ad-hoc network routing protocol for an application layer

In recent years, ad-hoc network technology consisting of not access points and base stations but of wireless nodes has gained attention. Usually the aim of routing protocol in ad-hoc network is to provide the stable network service. In order to maintain the network, node must communicate with each other in exchanging their routing tables. So the control packet does not include the information of an application layer. We propose the novel routing protocol for an application layer which includes the application information in the control packet. By using our proposed protocol, nodes can construct the routing table and send the node's information to neighboring nodes at the same time. Then we investigate the tradeoff between relay hops and delay times. We show the experimental results for the real world.
