Modeling and Analyzing Anycast and Geocast Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

Wireless technology has become an essential part of this era’s human life and has the capability of connecting virtually to any place within the universe. A mesh network is a self healing wireless network, built through a number of distributed and redundant nodes to support variety of applications and provide reliability. Similarly, anycasting is an important service that might be used for a variety of applications. In this paper we have studied anycast routing in the wireless mesh networks and the anycast traffic from the gateway to the mesh network having multiple anycast groups. We have also studied the geocast traffic in which the packets reach to the group head via unicast traffic and then are broadcasted inside the group. Moreover, we have studied the intergroup communication between different anycast groups. The review of the related literature shows that no one has considered anycasting and geocasting from gateway to the mesh network while considering the multiple anycast groups and intergroup communication. The network is modeled, simulated and analyzed for its various parameters using OMNET++ simulator.
