A Fault Tolerant Congestion Aware Routing Protocol for Mobile Adhoc Networks

Problem statement: The performance of ad hoc routing protocols will si gnificantly degrade when there are faulty nodes in the network. Packet losses and bandwidth degradation are caused due to congestion and thus, time and energy is wasted during its recovery. The fault tolerant congestion aware routing protocol addresses these p roblems by exploring the network redundancy through multipath routing. Approach: In this study, it is proposed to design a fault to lerant congestion aware multi path routing protocol to reduce the rou te breakages and congestion losses. The AOMDV protocol is used as a base for the multipath routin g. This proposed scheme enables more nodes to salvage a dropped packet. Results: Simulation results show that the proposed protocol achieves better throughput and packet delivery ratio with reduced d elay, packet drop and energy. Conclusion: An effective congestion control technique proposed in this study proactively detects node level and link level congestion and performs congestion control us ing the fault-tolerant multiple paths.
