Impact of Mobility on the Routine of Enhanced - DSDV Protocol in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

摘要

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile devices which are connected by wireless links without the use of any fixed infrastructures or centralized access points. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks have been highly vulnerable to attacks due to the dynamic nature of its network infrastructure. Among these attacks, routing attacks have received considerable attention since it could cause the most devastating damage to MANET. This article presents a routing strategy for MANET called Altitudinal Destination Sequenced Distance Vector which is an improved version of Destination Sequence Distance Vector (DSDV) routing protocol. The proposed routing protocol is to reduce the power consumption of the embedded node by reducing the computational overhead and data routing through less energy consuming routes through sensor nodes of interest using Enhanced-DSDV (E-DSDV). The proposed routing algorithm is composed of three stages i.e. identification of the activity area, identification of representative node and route discovery process. The proposed routing protocol has been simulated and compared with the existing routing protocols with Network Simulator NS2. Based on the experimental results, our proposed method produced better results compared to other leading protocols.
