Using link layer throughput maximisation in ad hoc network routing algorithms

This paper studies link layer throughput maximisation for mobile ad hoc network routing algorithms. We analyse the transmission rates and take into account the interference effects to propose a theoretical model of throughput maximisation called Throughput Aware Link Selection (TALS). TALS can easily be infused into other routing protocols. Simulations show performances increases when compared with other methods. The results demonstrate that TALS helps to increase network throughput.
