Abstract
In mobile ad-hoc networks, a communication link between two mobile computers is not always bi-directional, i.e., uni-directional, since the transmission power of mobile computers are not the same. Though some ad-hoc routing protocols, e.g., extended DSR (Dynamic Source Routing), support routing with unidirectional links, multiple flooding RREP are used and communication overhead is high. In this paper, we propose a new ad-hoc routing protocol based on DSR that supports unidirectional links in mobile ad-hoc networks. We use the neighborhood list of high transmission power node to detect the existence of unidirectional links and to transmit single unicast RREP. Our protocol achieves better performance than the extended DSR in such environments as having unidirectional links in terms of the number of required messages.
