A Novel Approach: Load Balancing With Fault Tolerant Technique to Solve Hidden Node Problem in Mobile Ad hoc Networks

This paper addresses the hidden terminal problem in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) through the use of enhanced load balancing technique with fault-tolerant mechanisms. The proposed approach aims to distribute network traffic efficiently and ensure resilience in the presence of faults or failures. Evaluation of the technique was performed using NS-2 simulations, considering metrics such as delay, throughput, and packet delivery ratio. The simulation results demonstrated significant improvements in these metrics, validating the effi-ciency of the suggested strategy in reducing the impact of hidden terminals and maintaining network performance. This work contributes to the advancement of MANET solutions, providing a practical approach to improve connectivity and reliability in challenging wireless environments. Since the existing method Fault tolerant Disjoint Ad hoc On-demand Distance vector (FD-AOMDV) routing algorithm have issues like packet loss, delay and traffic. Our Proposed method provides better simulation results as comparison to the existing method FD-AOMDV.
