Abstract

WiMedia Alliance have been widely adopted in personal area networks for high data transfer with low energy consumption-based applications. The multi-hop support provided by WiMedia is limited to 3-hop distance and seeks significant interest from researchers. This paper is aimed at addressing the following issues by two-fold approach. In the first part, we propose a multi-hop routing algorithm for n-hop support to analyse the protocol and achieved higher throughput and minimum delay. Further, we tested the performance of the algorithm by implementing the protocol to quantify the outcomes. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm facilitates better utilisation of resources and helps to improve the network life time by providing high data rate.
