一种改进的多路径路由探测算法

随着网络中部分路由器使用了负载均衡策略,发往同一目的端的数据包不再沿着单一路由转发,传统的拓扑测量工具Traceroute将难以发现网络中的负载均衡链路及节点,测量精度受到影响。多路径路由探测算法(MDA)在端到端网络拓扑测量中能够有效地发现负载均衡节点产生的多条路径,但探测量却是Traceroute的近10倍。提出一种改进的多路径路由探测算法,通过设置全局查找表,源主机能够自适应地选择探测策略以及发送探测数据包的数目,保证了较高的测量精度,同时明显减少冗余探测。实验结果表明,改进后的算法能够发现网络中90%以上的IP中间节点,准确地反映了网络拓扑结构,但相比于传统的MDA路由探测算法,探测量减少了将近一半。

Cross-Layer Design and Ant-Colony Optimization Based Routing Algorithm for Low Earth Orbit Satellite Networks

To improve the robustness of the Low Earth Orbit(LEO) satellites networks and realise load balancing, a Cross-layer design and Ant-colony optimization based Load-balancing routing algorithm for LEO Satellite Networks(CAL-LSN) is proposed in this paper. In CALLSN, mobile agents are used to gather routing information actively. CAL-LSN can utilise the information of the physical layer to make routing decision during the route construction phase. In order to achieve load balancing, CALLSN makes use of a multi-objective optimization model. Meanwhile, how to take the value of some key parameters is discussed while designing the algorithm so as to improve the reliability. The performance is measured by the packet delivery rate, the end-to-end delay, the link utilization and delay jitter. Simulation results show that CAL-LSN performs well in balancing traffic load and increasing the packet delivery rate. Meanwhile, the end-to-end delay and delay jitter performance can meet the requirement of video transmission.

Load balancing strategy of heterogeneous wireless networks based on multi-hop routing algorithm of ad hoc network

Because of different system capacities of base station （BS） or access point （AP） and ununiformity of traffic distribution in different cells, quantities of new call users may be blocked in overloaded cell in communication hot spots. Whereas in some neighboring under-loaded cells, bandwidth may be superfluous because there are only few users to request services. In order to raise resource utilization of the whole heterogeneous networks, several novel load balancing strategies are proposed, which combine the call ad- mission control policy and multi-hop routing protocol of ad-hoc network for load balancing. These loadbalancing strategies firstly make a decision whether to admit a new call or not by considering some parameters like load index and route cost, etc., and then transfer the denied users into neighboring under-loaded cell with surplus channel according to optimum multi-hop routing algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed load balancing strategies can distribute traffics to the whole heterogeneous wireless netorks, improve the load balance index efficiently, and avoid the call block phenomenon almost absolutely.

Least-mean-square routing with load-balancing for wireless ad hoc networks

Routing algorithm is a challenge for a mobile ad hoc network （MANET）, but current routing protocols for MANETs consider the path with minimum number of hops as the optimal path to a given destination. This strategy does not balance the traffic load over a MANET, and may result in some disadvantages such as creating congested area, depleting power faster and enlarging time delay in the nodes with heavy duties. In this paper, we propose a routing scheme that balances the load over the network by selecting a path based on its mean load-square, the proposed routing metric can reflect not only the load of the path, but also the load distribution along the path. Simulation results show effectiveness of this routing scheme on balancing the load over all nodes in the network.
