Abstract

In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) the major issue between nodes for data transfer is link quality. The majority of the MANET routing protocols try to maintain the link quality between nodes but still need improvement. This paper focuses on link quality between nodes in an ad hoc network in emergency scenarios through the design of the Energy Priority and Link Aware Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (EPLAODV) routing protocol. EPLAODV improves the link quality between nodes through SNR. For performance analysis, the NS2.35 network simulator was used. Simulation time and traffic load were the major simulation parameters. From the simulation results, it is observed that EPLAODV performs better than AODV.

Highlights

Many users use wireless communication devices or channels for the exchange of information
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are used in various real time applications such as environment monitoring control, air traffic control, in battle fields, and in many emergency scenarios like major accidents and disaster relief operations [8]
In the proposed EPLAODV routing protocol, the discovered routes are based on traffic priority, node energy, and link quality

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Many users use wireless communication devices or channels for the exchange of information. To prolong network lifetime and to get maximum throughput, MANETs use reactive, proactive and hybrid routing protocols to discover shortest, stable, and efficient routes. Rescue workers or first responders are equipped with mobile devices to share important information about operations at the disaster site. To avoid communication interruption among the rescue works, and to reduce the losses of infrastructure and human lives, critical information travels through high powered nodes or stable links. The proposed energy, priority and link aware ad hoc on demand distance vector (EPLAODV) routing protocol discovers energy efficient and link aware routes from source to destination for the exchange of critical information in disaster operations
