Describes MAC layer optimizations (priority token scheduling (PTS) for channel scheduling, and gateway code scheduling (GCS) for code selection) which benefit routing. Proposes DSCR, a hierarchical version of DSDV. Proposes Clusterhead Gateway Switch Routing (CGSR), which forces routes to alternately use clusterheads and gateways because clusterheads have more chances to transmit. Proposes a modified CBT multicast routing algorithm, where JOIN_ACKs may take a different route from JOIN_REQUESTs to handle mobility. Avoids loops by forcing each node to have only one upstream node.

Shows how loops may form in several situations in CBTs. Proposes a logical level number for each node, where the level number indicates distance from the core. To avoid loops, orphaned nodes may rejoin only through nodes with equal or higher level numbers.
