RDCLRP-route discovery by cross layer routing protocol for performance improvement
Mehajabeen Fatima, Roopam Gupta, T. K. Bandhopadhyay · 2011
MANET links have dependency on node mobility and node battery power. If a nodes battery power goes below threshold or if a node goes out of transmission range lead to link failure causing degradation of network's performance. It could be alleviated by allowing cross layer interaction in the protocol stack. So RDCLRP is proposed for route discovery and route maintenance using adaptive hello warning message. HELLO warning message is used to give warning when link is going to break before link breakage to keep connectivity of the link and it is broadcasted whenever it is required and not periodically. This paper is targeted to improve network performance parameters such as throughput, delay, jitter, overhead and battery power consumption.
