Self-Healing and Optimizing Adhoc Routing

Wireless networking is an emerging field with its potential applications in extremely unpredictable and dynamic environments. Individuals and industries choose wireless because it allows flexibility of location, whether that means mobility, portability, or just ease of installation at a fixed point. Wireless networks that fix their own broken communication links may speed up their widespread acceptance. The challenge for wireless communication is optimized handling of unpredictable environment through which communications travels. Despite early problems in overcoming this pitfall, the newest developments in selfhealing wireless networks are solving the problem. The changes made to the network architectures are resulting in new methods of application design for this medium. This paper presents an overview of self healing networks and a new scheme has been proposed that tries to heal the routing when a link failure occurs. The scheme can be incorporated into any adhoc on-demand unicast routing protocol. In this research work, the proposed scheme has been incorporated to AODV and observation is that the performance has been improved. The simulations have been carried over NS2 simulator with existing schemes and proposed scheme. Simulation results indicated that the proposed technique provides robustness.
