Link stability and energy aware for reactive routing protocol in mobile ad hoc network
Sofian Hamad, Hadi Noureddine, Hamed Saffa Al-Raweshidy · 2011
In this paper, a new routing protocol called Link Stability and Energy Aware (LSEA) is proposed, which is a modified version of Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol. LSEA employs a novel route discovery process that takes into account the links stability and the nodes residual energy to perform data routing. The simulation results show that LSEA reduces the routing overhead by 17% and increases the network life time by 20%, as compared to the traditional AODV.
