Routing Path Selection Algorithm Based On Price Mechanism In Ad-Hoc Network

Abstract

In ad hoc network, one needs other nodes to relay data packets. But resources in each node are limited. Therefore, these nodes may not relay other’s data packet without getting any benefit. In this paper, a routing path selecting algorithm based on price mechanism is proposed. It helps nodes to get some benefits by relaying others’ data packets. Moreover, the algorithm we proposed selects a routing path with less payment and more resources. Simulation results show that the drop rate, block rate and the cost of routing paths are reduced compared to the competing algorithms.
