Abstract |
Routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been explored extensively in last few years. Routing may let a congestion happen which is detected by congestion control, but dealing with congestion in reactive manner results in longer delay, and unnecessary packet loss and requires significant overhead if a new route is needed. Adaptation to the congestion helps to increase both the effectiveness and efficiency of routing. These problems are solved by the congestion-aware routing protocols in certain degree. These protocols which are adaptive to congestion status of mobile ad-hoc network can greatly improve the network performance.This project work gives a proposal for a new algorithm, Efficient Congestion Adaptive Routing Protocol (ECARP) using cross layer design, which out-performs even during constrained situation. The project is simulated using the popular network simulator NS2 and the results are compared with the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol which is one of the dominate protocol design for MANET. Through simulation in NS- 2 that ECARP out-performs over AODV routing protocol in normal situation. |
