A new AODV route discovery protocol to achieve fair routing for mobile ad hoc networks

We propose a new routing protocol for MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETwork). This protocol achieves the fairness of the amount of communication among nodes. The amount of communication generation in MANET differs among nodes. Thus, there might be nodes that have much self-benefit communication and nodes with much other-benefit communication. The ratio of self-benefit communication to other-benefit communication differs among nodes in MANET. MANET is a network made up of equal ability nodes. Therefore this ratio is expected to be equal among the nodes. A protocol has been proposed to achieve the fairness using the ratio of self-benefit communication to other-benefit communication. However, the protocol has two problems. The definition of the ratio of self-benefit communication and other-benefit communication do not fully reflect the cost and benefit for the node. AODV routing protocol cannot obtain routes to achieve fairness. We propose a new routing protocol that improves the fairness definition and route discovery to achieve fairness.
