MULTI-OBJECTIVE CROSS-LAYER BASED MULTIPATH ROUTING PROTOCOL IN MANET
M. Anuradha, G. S. Anandha Mala · 2014
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have unique challenges in the routing protocols like selecting a high energy efficient route to transmit the data packets between the nodes. To overcome these challenges in the paper we have proposed an approach Multi-Objective Cross-layer based Multipath Routing in MANET. In this approach the routes for the transmission of data packets are selected using hybrid routing. Also a crosslayer metric is been derived based on the Expected Transmission Time (ETT), Residual Energy and Load Balancing Factor. This cross-layer metric is combined with the hybrid routing protocol in order to find an optimum route based on the cross-layer metric.
