A Router Architecture to Achieve Link Rate Throughput in Suburban Ad-hoc Networks

Static nodes, e.g. houses, educational institutions etc, can comprise ad-hoc networks using off-the-self wireless technologies with a view to bypass expensive telecommunication solutions. A suburban adhoc network (SAHN) aims to provide such an inexpensive broadband networking alternative for communities of cooperating users using wireless medium. There exists a plethora of efficient routing solutions for ad-hoc networks where nodes are mobile. However, less attention has been paid towards optimizing these protocols and developing a real routing system for ad-hoc networks where nodes are not mobile. In this paper we have made analyses of various router architectures and outlined a design framework to perform routing tasks in the SAHN efficiently. We have also presented a survey result for choosing a feasible realtime operating system for our development and deployment purposes.
