A fuzzy-decision-based routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks

A fuzzy-decision-based protocol developed on top of the classical dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol is proposed with support for prioritised service differentiated packet routing and treats all input routing metrics more fairly. The proposed enhanced fuzzy-DSR protocol (EFDSR) supports priority differentiation through its fuzzy engine intake of three routing metrics and improves overall network performance through a special "link state predictive dynamic routing" (LSPDR) technique.
