TREE-GUIDED DISTRIBUTED LINK STATE ROUTING METHOD

摘要

A routing method of a wireless communication system is provided implementing advantageous features of both the tree routing and the link state routing. In the routing method, the system generates an adaptive tree table which defines a network in a tree structure of at least one branch with at least one node and each node generates a link state table which includes information on neighbor nodes, such that the packets are routed on the basis of the adaptive tree table and the link state table. Advantageous mechanisms of the tree routing and the link state routing are combined, thereby it is possible to eliminate most single point of failures of conventional tree routing and provide shorter paths compared with conventional tree routing.
