Paper Spectrum-Aware Transitive Multicast on Demand Distance Vector Routing for Military Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks

Addressing delay caused by unstable and dynamic Military Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks (MCRAHNs) is one of the major challenges in routing. In MCRAHNs nodes can be destroyed by an enemy causing the network to be intermittent, resulting in two forms of delay called Spectrum Mobility (SM) and Node Relay (NR) delay. The existing routing algorithms deployed in MCRAHNs incur a lot of SM and NR delay which causes inefficiencies in the transmission of packets. This paper introduces a routing scheme called Spectrum-Aware Transitive Multicast on Demand Distance Vector (SAT-MAODV) optimized to address the effects of SM and RP delay in MCRAHNs.
