Link stability prediction for mobile Ad-hoc network route stability

Mobile Ad-hoc Network is one of the popular technologies among the various wireless technologies. The MANET is an ad-hoc technology and inherits the properties of mobility, wireless connectivity and independence. In one side it demonstrates the advantage over applications on the other side that is complicated to manage. Therefore the routing protocols are an essential component of the entire network. Routing protocols are responsible for searching and maintaining the routes. In this presented paper a new routing protocol is proposed that rank the available routes according to their path stability. Therefore a signal strength based link prediction technique is proposed for demonstration. The proposed routing concept is implemented over AODV routing protocol. Additionally to compare the performance of routing a comparative study is also made with the proposed routing protocol. The obtained performance shows the efficient performance of the proposed protocol. The proposed routing protocol is also able to improve routing overhead, energy consumption, and the throughput for different number of experiments.
