An Efficient Hop Count Routing Protocol for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

An efficient hop count route finding approach for mobile ad hoc network is presented in this paper. It is an adaptive routing protocol that has a tradeoff between transmission power and hop count for wireless ad hoc networks. During the route finding process, the node can dynamically assign transmission power to nodes along the route. The node who has received route request message compares its power with the threshold power value, and then selects a reasonable route according to discriminating algorithms. This algorithm is an effective solution scheme to wireless ad hoc networks through reasonably selected path to reduce network consumption. Simulation results indicate that the proposed protocol can deliver better performances with respect to energy consumption and end-to-end delay.
