Bandwidth Efficient Source Tracing (Best) for Wireless Networks

Reduces control overhead to increase available bandwidth and conserve power at mobile stationsStrong results in terms of the throughput seen by the user

This invention has several applications in wireless networks, including: Mobile networks Community and emergency networks Developing countries where no wired infrastructure exists

Scientists at the University of California have developed a novel bandwidth efficient routing protocol for wireless ad-hoc networks. The UC protocol considerably reduces control overhead to increase available bandwidth and conserve power at mobile stations. This new process uses non-optimal routing in table-driven routing protocols to minimize updates and reduce retransmissions. It also provides strong user throughput results.
