Biography
Bernard Cousin is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Rennes 1, France. Bernard Cousin received in 1987 his Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Paris 6. He is, currently, member of IRISA (a CNRS-University-INSA joint research laboratory in computing science located at Rennes). More specifically, he is at the head of a research group on networking. He is the co-author of a network technology book: “IPV6” (Fourth edition, O’Reilly, 2006) and has co-authored a few IETF drafts in the areas of Explicit Multicasting and Secure DNS. His research interests include all-optical networks, dependable networking, high speed networks, traffic engineering, multicast routing, network QoS management, network security and multimedia distributed applications.

Routing in ad hoc mobile networks is a problem which has not yet been satisfactorily solved. Traditional routing techniques are not well adapted to new networks. Indeed, their lack of reactivity with respect to the traffic and network changes means traditional routing techniques cannot easily be used except at the price of over-dimensioning of the network resources (network bandwidth, node memory utilization, node CPU load, etc.). In recent years the research community has been interested in the improvement of ad hoc routing, and among the solutions suggested multipath routing has been considered. Multiple paths are exploited in order to ensure reliability and a quick reaction to changes in topology with a low overhead generated by the control messages. In this article we present an extension of the well-known routing protocol AODVM (Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector Multipath). We propose to improve the multipath routing strategy with a path classification to allow the paths with the best energy level to be chosen.
