Optimized transmission coordination mechanisms for opportunistic routing

The successful rate of transmission coordination of opportunistic routing (OR) is analyzed systematically,and then two efficient transmission coordination mechanisms (TCMs) are proposed for OR:a batch sliding window-based TCM and a bit map-based TCM,to reduce the total number of packet transmissions and improve end-to-end throughput for OR.The batch sliding window-based TCM avoids the oscillation of the successful rate of transmission coordination by transmitting packets in continuous batch mode so as to improve the average successful rate of transmission coordination efficiently,while the bit map-based TCM improves end-to-end throughput of OR by reducing the overhead of transmission coordination.Exhaustive simulations show that the average end-to-end throughput gains of the two proposed TCMs are 15.4％ and 6.4％ over the batch map-based TCM,respectively.
