Most wireless networks consist of heterogeneous nodes with diverse characteristics. These heterogeneous nodes have various moving characteristics such as speed and pausing time. Since conventional wireless routing schemes are designed for networks with homogeneous mobility, it is difficult to accomplish communication without degrading its quality, e.g., packet reachability and delay, in networks with heterogeneous mobility. In this paper, we propose efficient extensions of a proactive routing protocol to achieve sufficient communication quality in networks with heterogeneous mobility. The proposed extensions consist of three features, i.e., differential topology update, unidirectional movement notification and link quality based route calculation. Complementary actions among these functions can improve communication quality with acceptable control overhead. Simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme can achieve higher packet reachability and lower delay with low control overhead compared with existing routing schemes.
