ABR was invented in 1993, filed for a USA[[U.S. patent]] in 1996, and granted the patent in 1999. ABR was invented by [[Chai Keong Toh]] while doing his Ph.D. at Cambridge University. In the 1990s, our Internet was still largely wired. Toh was working on a different Internet – that of a rapidly deployable, infrastructureless, self-organizing, self-configuring mobile Internet. The challenges in such a network is mobility of nodes and link dynamics. Toh's prime argument is that there is no point in choosing a node to route packets if the route is unstable or going to be broken soon. So, he introduced a new routing metric (known as associativity ticks) and the concept of associativity, i.e., link stability among nodes over TIME and SPACE. Hence, ABR was born.

==Explanation==

In the early 1990s, the Internet is still largely wired. To achieve anytime anywhere computing, computers must be able to connect to each other wirelessly and automatically. The [[Internet Protocol]] at that time did not address mobility, and the formation of an rapidly deployable mobile Internet. The underlying protocols for Internet were TCP/UDP/IP. Those protocols do not support spontaneous network creation, and do not handle dynamics due to mobility of computers. The assumption was end hosts are static hosts, and they do not move. Another assumption was the network is wired (with copper wires or fiber).

Since existing Internet protocols cannot support ad hoc mobile computing, a new mobile Internet is needed. This calls for a new network layer software that will enable anytime and anywhere mobile computing, while at the same time, retaining compatibility with IP/UDP/TCP protocols already present in the wired Internet. ABR is an on-demand routing protocol, i.e., routes are created only as and when needed. This, in contrast, to the existing Internet where routes are immediately available and routing tables are constantly updated among routers. According to the publications,<ref name="auto"/> on-demand routing is chosen because it can reduce the amount of control packet traffic and this is suitable for a wireless network because bandwidth is limited.

==Route discovery phase==

ABR has three phases. The first phase is the route discovery phase. When a user initiates to transmit data, the protocol will intercept the request and broadcast a search packet over the wireless interfaces. As the search packet propagates node to node, node identity and stability information are appended to the packet. When the packet eventually reaches the destination node, it would have received all the information describing the path from source to destination. When that happens, the destination then chosechooses the best route (because there may be more than one path from the source to the destination) and sendsends a REPLY back to the source node, over the chosen path.

Note that when the packet transits backwards from destination to the source, each intermediate nodesnode will update their routing table, signifying that it will now know how to route when it receives data from the upstream node. When the source node receives the REPLY, the route is successfully discovered and established. This process is done in real-time and only takes a few milli-seconds.

==Route reconstruction phase==

Line 31 ⟶ 25:

==Route deletion phase==

When a discovered route is no longer needed, a RD (Route Delete) packet will be initiated by the source node so that all intermediate nodes in the route will update their routing table entries and stoppedstop relay data packets associated with this deleted route.

In addition to using RD to delete a route, ABR can also implement a soft state approach where route entries are expired or invalidated after timed out, when there is no traffic activity related to the route over a period of time.

==Practicality==

In 1998, ABR was successfully implemented<ref>{{citation |title="Mobile Computing Magazine Interview Article - First practical ad hoc wireless network implementation outdoors, 1999 |url=http://init.unizar.es/images/MobiCompMag1999.pdf}}</ref><ref>{{citation |title="Implementation and evaluation of an adaptive routing protocol for infrastructureless mobile networks, Proceedings of 9th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks, 2000." |urlpages=http:/20–27|doi=10.1109/ieeexploreICCCN.ieee2000.org/document/885465/|chapter=Implementation and evaluation of an adaptive routing protocol for infrastructureless mobile networks|year=2000|last1=Toh|first1=C.-K.|last2=Lin|first2=G.|last3=Delwar|first3=M.|isbn=978-0-7803-6494-3|s2cid=26834795 }}</ref><ref>{{citation |title="Evaluating the communication performance of an ad hoc wireless network, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, 2000" |url=https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=YTwSsH4AAAAJ&citation_for_view=YTwSsH4AAAAJ:WF5omc3nYNoC}}</ref><ref>{{citation |title="Experimenting with an Ad Hoc wireless network, ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review, Volume 28 Issue 3, Dec. 2000" |urljournal=http:/ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review|volume=28|issue=3|pages=21–29|doi=10.1145/dl377616.acm377622|year=2000|last1=Toh|first1=C.org/citation-K.cfm?id|last2=377622Chen|first2=Richard|last3=Delwar|first3=Minar|last4=Allen|first4=Donald|s2cid=1486812 }}</ref> into the Linux kernel, in various different branded laptops (IBM Thinkpad, COMPAQ, Toshiba, etc.) that are equipped with [[WaveLAN]] 802.11a PCMCIA wireless adapters. A working 6-node wide [[wireless ad hoc network]] spanning a distance of over 600 meters was achieved and the successful event was published in Mobile Computing Magazine in 1999. Various tests were performed with the network:

*[1]# Transmission of up to 500MBytes of data from source to destination over a 3-hop route.

*[2]# Link breaks and automatic link repairs proven to be working

*[3]# Automatic Route Discovery

*[4]# Route Delete

*[5]# Web Server in Ad Hoc mode – with source being client and destination being the web server

*[6]# Transmission of multimedia information (audio<ref>{{citation |title="Transporting Audio over Wireless Ad Hoc Networks, Proc. International Conference on Personal, Indoor And Mobile Radio Communications, Pimrc, 2003, v. 1, p. 772-777" |url=https://hub.hku.hk/bitstream/10722/46490/1/92280.pdf?accept=1}}</ref> and video)

*[7]# [[TELNET]] over Ad Hoc

*[8]# [[FTP]] over Ad Hoc

*[9]# [[HTTP]] over Ad Hoc

Also, network performance measurements on the following were made:

*[1]# End-to-end delay

*[2]# TCP throughput

*[3]# Packet loss ratio

*[4]# Route discovery delay

*[5]# Route repair delay

*[6]# Impact of packet size on throughput

*[7]# Impact of beaconing interval on throughput and remaining battery life

In 2002, TRW Tactical Systems Incorporation implemented<ref>{{citation |title="Next-Generation Tactical Ad Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks, TRW Systems Journal, 2004 (PDF)" |url=https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LJotUZzeYZxHUg1F8YMm2zS5OdNKgguQ}}</ref> an enhancement of the ABR protocol and successfully implemented on ORiNOCO WaveLAN 802.11b over an X windows system running Linux 5.2 Operating System on DELL laptops. The implementation and field test were done in an outdoor setting in [[Carson, California]] over a 6-node ad hoc network. The enhancement made to the protocol include:

* Network layer QoS

* Route precedence

* Route pre-emption

TRW investigators successfully transmitted 10Gbytes of large files, and did tests on route discovery, route repair, and measurements on delays. They recommended the use of Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) spectrum-aware MAC and the consideration of logical clustering to scale to 100,000 or more large scale ad hoc networks.

==Patent and applications==
