Clustered fisheye state routing for ad hoc wireless networks

Abstract

This paper presents a routing scheme based on fisheye state routing (FSR), which employs a clustering framework in order to reduce the redundancy in the broadcasts of topology information. Clustered fisheye state routing (CFSR) consumes less bandwidth by restricting the propagation of routing control messages in paths formed by alternating gateways and clusterheads, and allowing the gateways to selectively include routing table entries in their control messages.
