MTFR: Mobility Tolerant Firework Routing

In this paper, we propose a novel mobility assisted, adaptive broadcast routing mechanism called Mobility Tolerant Firework Routing (MTFR) that improves node reach ability especially in situations with high mobility. We evaluate our proposal by simulations with the random walk and random waypoint mobility models and disclose tendencies that can be observed with regard to typical parameters for wireless communication. As a result, we show that our proposed method produces better reach ability in many aspects at the expense of a small additional transmission delay and intermittent traffic overhead, as well as some specific no recoverable conditions are revealed due to wireless coverage density. Hence, an extension with adaptive parameter management has the potential to produce even better reachability and we thus consider MTFR to be a promising routing protocol, feasible enough for future Internet infrastructures.
