Abstract
Multipath routing protocols are distinguished from single-path routing by the fact that they look for and use several routes from a source to destination. Several routing schemes have been proposed in the context of mobile ad hoc networks that uses multiple paths simultaneously by splitting the information among the multitude of paths. However, the effect of route coupling in this environment can severely limit the gain offered by multipath routing strategies. Route coupling is a phenomenon of wireless medium and occurs when multiple routes are located physically close enough to interfere with each other during data communication. In this paper, we investigate the effect of directional antenna on multipath routing. We have shown that the effect of route coupling across multiple paths with directional antenna is much less compared to that with omni-directional antenna. As a result, the routing performance using multiple paths improves substantially with directional antenna compared to that with omni-directional antenna.
