Abstract

In an ad-hoc network, a routing protocol which detects a transmission route from a source mobile computer to a destination one is critical due to mobility and limited battery capacity of computers. A communication link between two mobile computers is not always bi-directional, i.e. unidirectional, since the transmission power of mobile computers is not the same. Some ad-hoc routing protocols, e.g. DSR, support routing with uni-directional links, multiple floodings (successive broadcasting) are used and communication overhead is high. The paper proposes a novel routing protocol LBSR, supporting uni-directional links which requires only a single flooding and unicast message transmissions.
