In this paper, to realize the low delay and high throughput route discovery in multi-rate ad hoc networks, we propose a novel on-demand routing using signal strength, called signal strength aware routing (SSR). SSR is based on the on-demand routing with the route request (RREQ) and route reply (RREP) procedure. In SSR, a node measures the signal strength of a received RREQ, and calculate the appropriate data transmission rate. Nodes also calculate the standby time for the RREQ forwarding proportionally to the medium time at the data transmission rate. A RREQ through higher data rate links arrives at the destination earlier, and the destination can select a low delay and high throughput route easily. We evaluate the performance of SSR in terms of delay, throughput and route discovery delay by means of QualNet network simulator. As a result, we show that SSR can discover the lower delay and higher throughput route than the conventional shortest hop routing without increasing control overhead in multi-rate ad hoc networks.
