A Cellular Aided AODV Routing Protocol

This paper firstly proposes a novel integrated Ad Hoc and cellular network architecture.Then,with this architecture,we design a cellular aided AODV routing protocol(CA-AODV).Based on the AODV routing protocol,CA-AODV makes use of the location information in the agent node of cellular systems to maintain and updating the routes of mobile ad hoc stations.This proactively routing maintenance can improve the performance of AODV routing protocol.Finally an extensive simulation in NS-2 shows that when the packets delivering rate is high,the CA-AODV can improve the system performance of the traditional AODV significantly.
