A quality of service load balanced connected dominating set–stochastic diffusion search (CDS–SDS) network backbone for MANET

Abstract

Owing to its dynamic topology with the lack of its central administration, the provisioning of quality of service (QoS) in case of the mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) has been found to be a challenging task. The QoS and load balancing will be crucial for the support of delay sensitive services in the MANET. The probability of route failure in the MANET will be increased owing to the node mobility that will increase its routing overhead. The Multi-path routing protocols will have a greater ability in the reduction of the routing overheads. In this work, ad hoc on-demand multipath distance vector routing (AOMDV) and QoS-AOMDV are investigated and a connected dominating set (CDS) that is an energy efficient scheme which can prolong the lifetime of the network is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, an optimal minimal residual energy with a maximum effective degree of the nodes for the purpose of back bone formation. The optimal weight-based coefficients will be determined by the stochastic diffusion search (SDS) and its algorithm. After this, while choosing nodes for the dominating set (DS) and its formation, such coefficients will be used.
