An adaptive routing protocol for an integrated cellular and ad-hoc network with flexible access

ABSTRACT

This paper proposes an adaptive routing protocol called ARFA for an integrated cellular and ad hoc heterogeneous network with flexible access (iCAR-FA). Based on the presentation of the iCAR-FA physical characteristics, the paper details the design issues and operation of ARFA. Detailed numerical analysis on route request rejection rate, which is along with some general evaluations, has indicated the effectiveness and efficiency of the ARFA protocol.
