Link-Stability and Energy Aware Routing Protocol in Distributed Wireless Networks

-A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous collection of mobile nodes that communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Link changes occur frequently and there is a limited bandwidth that makes the communication challengeable. The existing routing protocol like DSR, AODV selects the shortest path between the source and destination. It won’t check the stability of the link for flooding. So there is a chance of link failure. Recovering from the failure of the link in MANET leads to more energy consumption. The problem of link failure can be overcome by an approach called Link Stability and Energy aware routing. Link Stability and Energy aware routing algorithm is used. The Delivery Probability based Route Stability protocol describes the node mobility the energy efficiency in the network. Here the stability of the link is determined by the residual energy of the nodes in the network. So the chance of the link failure is reduced and the energy of the nodes is saved. The protocol performance has been evaluated in terms of Collision rate and Average energy consumption.
