After presenting weaknesses of several classic routing protocols applied in vehicular ad hoc networks （VANETs） by a qualitative comparison, this paper proposes a novel self-adaptive routing protocol, named ARPP. With respect to the specific characteristics of VANETs, the proposed routing protocol adopts a dynamic topology establishment and time-varying control message sending mechanism. A direction-based forwarding strategy and a specific warning solution enhance the routing performance in ARPP. Simulation results show that the ARPP protocol outperforms the classic AODV in urban vehicle environment.

为了在全球覆盖的低地球轨道(low earth orbit,LEO)卫星通信网络下,获得较小开销的组播树,而非仅仅是降低树开销或最小传输时延,提出一种面向LEO卫星通信网络的基于时间尺度的多度量负载均衡组播路由算法(load balancing multicasting algorithm based on timescales for LEO satellite network,LBMT),通过获取星间链路(intersatellite links,ISL)的状态信息并通过设计的评价链路状态"比对开销",建立较小"比对开销"组播树.已提出的面向LEO卫星网路的组播路由算法通常目标为最小化组播树的树开销或传输时延,然而LEO卫星网络的全网流量并非均匀分布,已提出的组播算法通常无法主动避让繁忙链路,在高负载情况下导致网络状况恶化.仿真结果表明:算法能在高负载状态下降低数据丢失率,而仅仅微小增加了传输时延.LBMT算法建立的组播树能有效避让繁忙链路并选择位于不发达地区上空的空闲链路,充分利用网络的空闲链路,使网络流量更加均衡.
