Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for determining a path in a network and a quality value for the path as well as a network node.
- a network allows the transmission of messages between its network nodes. In a network, however, not all network nodes of the network are directly connected to all other network nodes. Therefore, a message from a sending network node to a receiving network node must, in most cases, be forwarded through one or more intermediate nodes in order to get from the sending network node to the receiving network node.
- the path from the sending network node via the intermediate nodes to the receiving network node is referred to as path or route.
- a routing method is used in conjunction with a routing metric.
- the routing method first determines at least one, but expediently a plurality of path candidates along which the message could be transmitted.
- the routing metric assigns the path candidates a path distance value, a so-called route metric.
- the path distance value is data a measure of the quality of a Pfadkandi ⁇ .
- the path distance value in turn can be determined, for example, from link distance values, which in turn are a measure of the quality of individual links of the respective path candidate.
- the link here is the direct connection of two network node of the network.
- a known routing method is, for example, AODV (ad hoc on demand distance vector).
- path distance value for example, use costs for a link of the path and / or the number of links of a path can be included. Furthermore, it is possible that additionally or alternatively, values for a transmission quality along the path candidate or a link of the path candidate and / or values for the transmission speed of the path candidate or a link of the path candidate are received. The path candidate with the optimal path distance value is selected as the path in the sequence. The message can now be transmitted along this path.
- routing metrics The methods for determining the path distance value are referred to as routing metrics.
- a known routing metric is ETX (Expected Transmission Count). With the routing metric ETX one path is selected in which the number is expected to ⁇ transmissions at the lowest. Under both transmissions Warübertragungen (transmission) and repeated transmissions (retransmission) are hereby hen ⁇ To Hide. A first transmission is the transmission of a packet via a link. A repeated transmission takes place if the first transmission was unsuccessful.
- ETX uses data packet arrival rates, which are determined by the two network nodes belonging to the respective link.
- metric messages so-called beacons, are sent out at regular intervals.
- the object underlying the invention is to provide a ver ⁇ improved method for determining a path in a network and a quality value for the path and a Specify a network node that requires a smaller number of messages for its implementation or for its operation.
- the inventive method for determining a path in a network and a quality value for the path comprising to a routing method for the determination of the path and a routing metric for determining the quality value-nodes as part of the routing method of at least one network ⁇ of Network routing test messages, in particular so-called routing helios, sent in a definable time interval. Furthermore, in order to determine the quality value of the path, a determination of at least one data packet arrival rate for at least one link of the path is carried out and the data packet arrival rate is determined based on at least one of the routing test messages.
- the routing test messages can be, for example, so-called AODV hellos. For example, they may be used to discover or announce to neighboring network nodes.
- the data packet arrival rate indicates essentially achieved with wel ⁇ cher probability a packet its destination.
- the data packet arrival rate may, for example, be the quotient of a number of routing test messages received within a time period for routing test messages actually sent within the time period.
- the procedure makes the transmission of beacon
- the load on the network with messages is reduced.
- the network node is designed to carry out a
- Method for determining a path in a network by means of a routing method and a quality value for the path by means of a routing metric has a transmitting / receiving device for receiving routing test messages of the routing method and a processing device.
- the processing device is configured in such a way that a determination of at least one data packet arrival rate for a link between the network node and the further network node is carried out to determine the quality value based on at least one routing test message originating from a further network node.
- routing test messages are sent by the network node at a definable time interval.
- the network has network nodes according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a network section
- FIG. 1 shows an exemplary network section, consisting of a first to fifth network node K1. Furthermore, FIG. 1 shows a first link L1 between the first network node K1 and the second network node K2, a second link L2 between the second network node K2 and the third network node K3 and a third link L3 between the third network node K3 and the fourth network node K4.
- the three links L1 ... 3 form a path from the first network node K1 to the fourth network node K4.
- the links Ll ... 3 shown as arrows indicate the respective transmission direction used for the path.
- To the delegation ⁇ are supply devices from the first network node Kl to the second network node K2 for the first link Ll, from the second network node K2 for the third network node K3 of the second link L2 and the third network node K3 to the fourth network node K4 for the third link L3.
- the AODV (ad hoc on-demand distance vector) routing protocol is used as a basis.
- AODV provides that the network nodes kl ... 5 at regular intervals, here 1 second, so-called Hello messages send.
- the data packet arrival rates for the two directions of transmission may differ.
- the values for this, which should be 80% for the first link L1, 90% for the second link L2 and 70% for the third link L3, are referred to below as data packet arrival rates in the other transmission direction.
- the first network node K1 intends to send a message to the fourth network node K4. It is assumed that the first network node K1 does not yet know the path to the fourth network node K4 and therefore has to determine it. For this purpose, RREQ messages are sent, which reach the fourth network node K4 via the second and third network nodes K2, K3. This in turn responds with an RREP message which is returned to the first network node K1.
- the data packet arrival rates for the three links Ll ... 3 with the RREP- message now gen to the first network node Kl intimidtra ⁇ can be a route metric determined from the Sun co-transmitted data packet arrival rates for the path and if he has determined other paths to the fourth network node K4, select a suitable path.
- the determination of the route metric can be carried out, for example, by one of the following formulas:
- R 3.7.
- the path with the largest route metric is the optimal path.
- the path with the lowest route metric is the best path.
- a second embodiment of the invention results when the link metrics are already propagated with the RREQ messages.
- the fourth network node K4 can already decide on the path to be used based on the link metrics transmitted with the RREQ messages.
- RREQ messages unlike RREP messages, are broadcast.
- the ⁇ be indicated that each sending network node Kl ... 5 is not known which one or ones of the other network nodes Kl ... 5 will receive the RREQ message. This means that the link metric for a link bridged by the RREQ message can only be specified by the network node receiving this RREQ message.
- the network nodes Kl ... 5 in the beacon messages each transmit their respective data packet arrival rates to their neighboring network nodes Kl ... 5 so that each network node K1 ... 5 does not only provide the data packet arrival rates for a transmission direction the links to its neighbors, but for both transmission direction knows.
- the network node Kl ... 5 is only aware of the respective data packet arrival rate in the direction of it.
