Mobility aware routing strategy in MANET using cross layer design approach

Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc networks belong to the class of networks where every activity is an area of interest and provides scope of optimization. Here, we study the Cross Layer Design (CLD) approach in which we use the Physical layer Characteristics at Network layer. We have proposed a techinique, which would use the concept of Doppler Effect in Routing and eliminates the noisy signals received at physical layer by comparing the Signal to Interference Noise Ratio (SINR) with the Threshold Signal to Interference Noise Ratio (SINRT). As per the strategy used, the nodes which move closer to each other would be used in Routing than the nodes moving away from each other. Hence we are trying to contract the sub network involved in a particular communication.
