Improving the Performance of Adhoc on Demand Multipath Distance Vector Routing Protocol

Routing protocols are mandatory in network for deliver packets from source to destination. The multipath routing providing idea of load balancing but not capably distributes the load in network. This dissertation work is motivated by the idea of taking account of several factors in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) routing design in a combined way. The rational of our motivation is that most of the multipath routing protocols are considered only based on one criterion like shortest path considered with balance load or energy conservation. This research paper proposes a scheme which could consider RSS (Received Signal Strength) and load balancing. In this routing scheme, we would include both the stable path and the RSS value in multipath way. We define a RSS factor as that combination of distance and transmission range of all the nodes along different paths as the selection criteria. The RSS factor informs about the status of stability then here we evaluate the performance of AOMDV and proposed RSS based AOMDV. The simulations will be performed on NS2.
