Abstract

In multihop routed ad hoc networks, the conventional store-and-forward delivery has been used. However, we may ask a question: "Is the store-and-forward delivery still the best?" This paper presents a pipeline-through MAC (PT-MAC) protocol for ad hoc networks, in which nodes have two 3-channel interfaces in order to use limited radio resources efficiently and improve network performance. The proposed protocol reduces end-to-end delay significantly in multihop routed transmission by exploiting a novel pipeline-through technique rather than using the conventional store-and-forward. This results in improved network performance without increasing control overhead. Our extensive performance study shows that the proposed PT-MAC shows 20-40 percent shorter end-to-end delay and 25-55 percent better goodput compared to the IEEE 802.11 DCF with two 3-channel interfaces.
