Abstract

In this paper, a novel efficient transmission scheduling algorithm for multihop mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) with unidirectional links (ULs) is introduced. We propose an algorithm employing topology-transparent scheduling and erasure coding to support throughput guarantee over ULs in multihop MANATs. Our proposed algorithm can work over both unidirectional and bidirectional links, for both unicast and broadcast scenarios. We analytically study the performance of the proposed algorithm and achieve the maximum guaranteed throughput, for both unicast and broadcast scenarios. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm performs better than other topology-transparent algorithms over unidirectional links.
