Trajectory Information-based Routing Protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks with Mobile Mesh Router

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) technologies can allow Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) networks to provide high-speed broadband access service with low cost as compared to cellular networks. In this paper, in order to improve the network performance of a route between an Internet gateway and a vehicle, we introduce a routing protocol which can discover the route with the largest throughput considering expected route failures based on trajectory information of destination mobile router. Using NS-2 simulations, we observe that our proposed routing protocol contributes to reducing the duration of route breakage and the latency of route discovery.
