Cir-based best-route prediction and adaptive modulation for routing in ofdm-based ad hoc wireless networks

In order to facilitate communication within an ad hoc wireless network, a routing protocol is required to route data between nodes. The primary goal of such routing protocol is to guarantee the correct and efficient information exchange between the nodes. In the respect, one of the critical issue...
