Abstract

Hierarchical cellular networks with mobile routers were proposed in our previous work to migrate the hierarchical feature from stationary cellular networks into totally mobile wireless networks (see Cui, W. and Bassiouni, M.A., Proc. IEEE Int. Conf. on Third Generation Wireless Communications, 2000). We briefly cover the basic idea of the proposed architecture and its channel planning issues. Then we introduce a fault recovery protocol using backup routers. Simulation results are presented for evaluation purposes. In addition, the steady-state performance of the recovery protocol is analyzed with stochastic models
