Routing in Ad Hoc Networks with Limited Forwarding Capability

In certain ad hoc networks, each MS can participate in at most one connection. When ad hoc networking is used to extend the coverage area of an infrastructure-based wireless system, we are facing with this condition. When mobile stations have a limited forwarding capability, a number of routes may be blocked. In this paper, new routing strategies are proposed in order to improve the performance of ad hoc networks constructed out of MS’s with a limited forwarding capability. Also, properties of the routes that are found using different metrics are studied through simulations.
