Link Stability and Energy Aware routing Protocol for Mobile Adhoc Network

Abstract

MOBILE ad hoc networks (MANETs) have more popularity among mobile network devices and wireless communication technologies. A MANET is multihop mobile wireless network that have neither a fixed infrastructure nor a central server. Every node in a MANET will act as a router, and also communicates with each other. The mobility constraints in mobile nodes will lead to problems in link stability. Energy saving, path duration and stability will be two major efforts and to satisfy them can be difficult task. A self node which is present in the network may also consume little energy during the transmission. This proposed approach tries to account for link stability and for minimum drain rate energy consumption. In order to verify the correctness of the proposed solution a objective optimization formulation has been designed and a novel routing protocol called Link-Stability and Energy aware Routing protocols is proposed. This novel routing scheme has been compared with other two protocols: PERRA and GPSR. The protocol performance has been evaluated in terms of Data Packet Delivery Ratio, Normalized Control Overhead, Link duration, Nodes lifetime, and Average energy consumption.
