文摘HWMP(hybrid wireless mesh protocol)协议中的路径选择判据仅注重考虑链路中节点所占信道的资源量,而没有综合考虑其它节点的干扰。针对该问题,结合802.11sMAC层的特点,通过提取MAC层中的网络分配矢量(networkallocation vector,NAV)参数,在基于空中传播时间链路判据(airtime link metric,ALM)的基础上,提出了一种新的路径选择判据E-ALM(enhanced-airtime link metric)。仿真实验结果表明:新的路径选择判据有助于提高网络吞吐量、降低时延和丢包率,并在一定程度上避免了网络拥塞。该判据对基于802.11s的无线网状网路径选择进行了优化,从而提高了网络的整体性能。
