Abstract:The current rich collection of wireless routing designs brings significant compatibility issues between different design choices. A combination of arbitrary designs of routing components with a routing metric may result in catastrophe on a network's normal operation, such as routing loops, inconsistent routing decisions, suboptimal paths and routing instability. Previous works for modeling routing metric designs focused on several IP routing protocols deployed for the Internet. There remains a serious lack of understanding of the compatibility issue for wireless networks. The objective of this project is to address this challenging issue by systematically studying the fundamental compatibility space of routing metrics for different wireless routing designs. The proposed project will move the traditional simple linear wireless routing metric design into the new era of non-linear design and provide in-depth analysis of potential incompatibility issues. The routing theory developed in this proposed project is a major step in the understanding of interoperability and compatibility between wireless routing protocols. In addition, the theory of compatible routing designs also brings insights for developing flexible wireless routing architecture so that designs that potentially may put too many restrictions on the development of routing metrics can be avoided. The proposed research will foster the integration of research and education by expanding the existing curriculum with the new results from this project. The outreach component of the project includes disseminate research results and pedagogical materials via education and industry outreach programs.

摘要：当前的无线路由设计集合集合带来了不同设计选择之间的重大兼容性问题。路由组件与路由度量的任意设计的结合可能会导致网络正常操作上的灾难，例如路由循环，不一致的路由决策，次优路径和路由不稳定。以前用于建模路由度量设计的工作集中在为Internet部署的几种IP路由协议上。对于无线网络的兼容性问题，仍然严重缺乏了解。该项目的目的是通过系统地研究不同无线路由设计的路由指标的基本兼容性空间来解决这个具有挑战性的问题。拟议的项目将将传统的简单线性无线路由度量设计转移到非线性设计的新时代，并对潜在的不兼容问题进行深入分析。在此提出的项目中开发的路由理论是理解无线路由协议之间互操作性和兼容性的主要步骤。 此外，兼容路由设计的理论还带来了开发灵活的无线路由体系结构的见解，因此可以避免可能对路由指标的开发产生太多限制的设计。 拟议的研究将通过该项目的新结果扩展现有课程，从而促进研究和教育的整合。该项目的外展部分包括通过教育和行业外展计划传播研究结果和教学材料。
