摘      要：Hybrid wireless mesh networks are the most generic types of wireless mesh networks. Unlike static mesh routers, which have multiple radio interfaces and almost no energy constraint, mobile mesh clients are usually equipped with a single radio interface and have energy limitations. A cooperative hybrid routing protocol (CHRP) combining advantages of proactive and reactive routing protocols by letting them work cooperatively is proposed in this paper, which can adapt to features of both routers and clients. In CHRP, in order to make a proper route selection, channel condition, interference and constrained energy of clients are considered in the node-aware routing metric. Besides, a cross-layer approach is used in CHRP. Both gateway and client oriented data flows are considered comprehensively. The simulation results using ns-3 show the advantage of the proposed CHRP in terms of average packet loss rate, average latency, average network throughput, average energy consumption of clients and the minimum residual energy of clients.
