Performance Analysis of Multipath Routing Protocols for Disaster Response Networks

Abstract

Multipath routing protocols improve the load balancing and quality of service in WSN and also provide reliable communication, they allow building and use of multiple paths for routing between a source destination pair. they exploits the resource redundancy and diversity in the underlying network to provide benefits such as fault tolerance, load balancing, bandwidth aggregation, and improvement in QoS metrics such as delay, in this paper, we present a selection of multipath routing protocols and give a discussion on how multipath techniques can be extended to disaster response networks, the paper also investigates various multi-path routing protocols from the perspective of disaster response networks DRNs through an in-depth analysis of these protocols and compares their performance to a number of DRNs routing requirements, the paper also helps to understand the properties and limitations of existing multipath routing solutions from the perspective of DRNs and suggests enhancements of these solutions to cope with routing requirements in DRNs.
