QOS Evaluation of Stable Energy Efficient Node Disjoint Adhoc Routing Protocol
Authors: ,
Abstract: A mobile adhoc network (MANET) is a self-configuring infra- structure less network of mobile devices connected by wireless. The emergence of real-time applications such as multimedia services, disaster recovery etc., and the widespread use of wireless and mobile devices has generated the need to provide quality-of-service (QoS) support in MANET. But QoS provisioning in MANETs is a very challenging problem when compared to wired IP networks. This is because of wireless multi-hop communication, limited battery power, each device in a MANET is free to move independently in any direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently, and range of mobile devices as well as the absence of a central coordination authority. So, the design of an efficient and reliable routing scheme providing QoS support for such applications is a very important. Therefore, an effort has been done to create a new QOS based Stable Energy Aware Ad hoc Routing protocol (QSEAAR) by adding quality of service to the Stable energy aware adhoc routing (SEAAR) protocol. The simulation of proposed protocol is carried out using network simulator ns-2.35 under Linux platform. The protocol considers not only the QoS requirement, but also the cost optimality of the routing path to improve the overall network performance. The evaluation results show that the performance of QSEAAR is comparable and outperforms the existing AOMDV and SEAAR.
