Abstract

In this letter, we present a flow-aware opportunistic routing protocol over wireless mesh networks. Firstly, a forwarder set selection mechanism is proposed to avoid potential flow contention, thus alleviating possible congestion from the increased number of flows. Secondly, a Round-Robin packet sending fashion combined with batch-by-batch acknowledgement is introduced to provide reliability and improve throughput. Evaluations show that our protocol significantly outperforms a seminal opportunistic routing protocol, MORE, under both single and multiple flow scenarios.
