Introduction Motivation Background Basic Idea of how ExOR works Why ExOR works ? Design Challenges Results and Evaluation Conclusion

An integrated routing and MAC protocol Aims to increase the throughput of large

unicast transfers in multi hop wireless networks.

Based on cooperative diversity routing

Introduction Motivation Background Basic Idea of how ExOR works Why ExOR works ? Design Challenges Results and Evaluation Conclusion

Why the need for a new routing protocol ?

Why the need for a new routing protocol ?

Traditional routing protocols were designed for wired networks.

These protocols don’t take into account underlying wireless dynamics at MAC and PHY layer.

RF Link Quality – As compared to wired Ethernet, 802.11 has to deal with interference, noise and multipath fading in unlicensed bands which results in loss of packets.

Solution – Positive Acknowledgments When ACK doesn’t arrive , packet is

retransmitted.

Reference : 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide O'Reilly Publications . Mathew Gast. April 2005

ExOR tries to avoid these retransmissions by relying on cooperative diversity scheme.

Traditional Routing Protocols

Choose Best Sequence of nodes Between source and Destination

Cooperative Diversity Protocols

Uses broadcast transmission to Send info through multiple relays

Routing Protocols

Classic network architectures employ point to point transmissions.

Cooperative transmission takes advantage of broadcast transmission to send information through multiple relays concurrently.

Originally meant to avoid multipath fading.

Introduction Motivation Background ExOR Why ExOR works ? Design Challenges Results and Evaluation Conclusion

ExOR broadcasts each packet, choosing a receiver to forward only after learning the set of nodes that actually received the packet.

By delaying this decision until after reception, multiple long but radio lossy links are given a trial.

Agreement amongst the nodes which received each packet.

Need for a metric which decides the node which is closest to the destination.

Not too many nodes should be potential forwarders.

Minimize collisions.

Agreement amongst the nodes which received each packet.

Agreement protocol should have low overhead.

Solution -- Batch Forwarding and Node State

Challenge: finding the closest node to have rx’d

Send batches of packets for efficiency Node closest to the dst sends first

Other nodes listen, send remaining packets in turn

Repeat schedule until dst has whole batch

Each node maintains this for each batch of packets its operating on.

Goal: nodes “closest” to the destination send first

Sort by ETX metric to dst Nodes periodically flood ETX “link state”

measurements Path ETX is weighted shortest path (Dijkstra’s

algorithm) Source sorts, includes list in ExOR header
