Abstract

The performance of mobile ad-hoc wireless networks is highly sensitive to node-to-node connection caused by node movement. Thus, to create robust mobile ad-hoc networks against node mobility, stable routing paths and routing refresh interval should be selected adaptively based on instantaneous network parameters. In this paper, we present a practical adaptive scheme to improve network stability in mobile ad-hoc networks by adaptively selecting most stable routing paths and optimal routing refresh interval. We validate our proposed adaptive scheme via simulation using OPNET. The simulation results in different scenarios demonstrate our proposed scheme remarkably enhances the network stability, providing robust mobile ad-hoc wireless networks.KeywordsMobile ad-hoc networksNetwork stabilityNode mobility
