A Route Stability Routing Protocol for Improving the Performance of AODV Routing

-Mobile ad hoc network is a collection of network devices which free from any infrastructure and can behave independent for communication. The independence of the node is comes from their freedom of mobility and dynamic topology creation ability. Additionally that enables the new directions of applications for the technology and application advancements. On the other hand the mobility or independence of nodes creates some network performance issues such as link break, network partitions, data loss, communication overheads and others. Therefore the stable route is the key area of investigation and routing protocol design. In this presented work the key intension is to find some solution for link stability of routing protocol. The proposed technique of routing is works on the basis of two stages route establishment and route management. During the route establishment that acts as the AODV routing protocol and after establishment of connection that implements the node tracking concept. Using the tracking concept the node mobility is predicted additionally that helps to estimate the new possible node position in network. In addition of that for more accurate location estimation the velocity and direction of node movement is also associated. Once the direction and velocity of node is obtained the time estimation is performed when the node leave the current or existing path. This presented technique is implemented on NS2 network simulator and their comparative study with the AODV routing protocol is performed. The obtained performance shows the proposed protocol improves the performance of the traditionally used AODV routing protocol.
