Abstract

Given the two promising routing protocols for wireless mesh NANs, namely GPSR and RPL, this chapter presents extensive simulations carried out with IEEE 802.11-based radio and practical system parameters related to the NAN’s characteristics and deployment scenarios specified in SG standards. For the robustness of routing protocols against network element failures, this chapter investigates the capability of PPS in rerouting traffic around non-connected network regions caused by SM malfunctions. The obtained results reveal the advantages of RPL against the GPSR in terms of its network condition awareness and superior performance. They also demonstrate that PPS can effectively improve the network resilience by adaptively forwarding the traffic over multiple alternative paths.
