Multi-path routing considering inter-path interference using a mobile agent in the ad-hoc networks

In ad-hoc networks where different routing protocols from the wired network are used, a multi-path routing has been paid attention for the purpose of load balancing. The multi-path routing considering inter-path interference proposed in the past can reduce the amount of control packets. However, this routing protocol has a problem that an obtained path is not always suitable one. In this paper, we propose an effective multi-path routing considering inter-path interference using a mobile agent.
