ESLR - Energy Based Stable Link Routing in Mobile Adhoc Networks

Abstract

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) comprises of highly dynamic mobile nodes where reliable and stable path routing is a major issue which affects uninterrupted communication. There are so many stable routing protocols are developed as a promising solution. Nevertheless, while developing stable routes energy based a vital role. This paper proposed a novel energy based stable link routing (ESLR) protocol that chooses high energy routes to create stable link communication. In our proposed technique, traffic manager elected to control the entire operation of the network. For that it observes all the activities of every single node that participating in the communication. When a node wants to send packets, the traffic manager chooses routes between the source-destination pair based on energy i.e. next forwarding link is created between the highest energy nodes. Thereby the stable links are created which can perform long-lasting communication. The proposed protocol has minimum of five routes for every single source-destination pair. So, without any delay next alternate path is selected if anyone of the intermediate node reaches its minimum energy. The simulation is performed to observe the performance of the proposed ESLR protocol. In experimental results, the observed performance of the proposed technique is compared with the existing AODVM and LSMRP protocols in terms of routing control overhead, number of route discovery and average end-to-end delay and the results are plotted.
