Routing tables in ad hoc and wireless routing protocols can be represented using rooted trees. The constant need for communication and storage of these trees in routing protocols demands an efficient rooted tree coding algorithm. This efficiency is defined in terms of the average code length, and the optimality of the algorithm is measured by comparing the average code length with the entropy of the source. In this work, TreeExplorer is introduced as an easy-to-implement and nearly optimal algorithm for coding rooted tree structures. This method utilizes the number of leaves of the tree as an indicator for choosing the best method of coding. We show how TreeExplorer can improve existing routing protocols for ad hoc and wireless systems, which normally entails a significant communication overhead. |
