Dynamic source routing protocol for robust path reliability and link sustainability aware routing in wireless communication

Abstract

Routing is the method of determining the most efficient route between transmitter and the receiver which is enhanced by taking into account the node's energy. The Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) Protocol is presented in this work to increase quality-of-service (QoS) by calculating path reliability and link sustainability criteria in which node energy, node centrality, node degree, and link cost are used to choose the relay nodes. Qualified relaying nodes are used for transmission from the source node to the cluster head (CH). One node is utilized to send data packets to its destination and the relay nodes are chosen in the optimum manner. In terms of packet loss ratio, energy consumption and delay, the suggested technique outperforms other existing routing protocols which has the lower packet loss ratio of about 4 % which is 3 % lesser than existing method.
