A HIGH PERFORMANCE SCALABLE QOS ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consists of a set of mobile hosts capable that form a temporary network on the fly without using any fixed infrastructure. The nodes operate both as hosts and routers. Due to mobility of nodes, the topology of the network may change rapidly and unexpectedly, thus setting up routes that meet high reliability is very challenging issue. Hence it is very important to find a route that can obtain highly stable routing and transmission ratio during data transmission. To address the above mentioned problem, we propose a high performance scalable QoS routing protocol, which bases on the route life time that is obtained using Global Positioning System (GPS), the residue energy and hop count. Therefore in this scheme, data is sent through a route with high stability, high residue energy level and low latency. The protocol consists of three phases: route discovery, route selection and route maintenance. Simulation results the HPSQR protocol achieves high performance and scalability with high packet delivery ratio and throughput as compared to best-known ondemand protocol, AODV.
