摘要:Large scale range and high dynamic topology are the two major features of Aeronautical Ad Hoc Networks (AANETs), which present severe challenges to provide efficient and reliable data packet delivery in aviation communication networks. Geographic routing has been studied as an attractive option for routing in aeronautical networks due to its simplicity and scalability. However there are still some problems such as low packet delivery ratio and less reliability for long dynamic links. In this paper, we improve the greedy forwarding strategy and start with the idea of integrating reactive routing mechanism with geographic routing protocol, referred to as IRG (Improved Reactive and Geographic) routing protocol. Variety simulations have been performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed routing protocol, and the results show that it can increase the packet delivery ratio efficiently.
