Load Balancing With Multipath Routing In MANAET
Prof. S. A. Jain Kunjal · IOSR Journal of Engineering · 2013
Mobile ad hoc network is a col lection of wireless mobile nodes, such devices as PDAs, mobile phones, laptops etc. that are connected over a wireless medium.There is no pre-existing communication infrastructure (no access points, no base sta-tions) and the nodes can freely move and self-organize into a network topology.Hence, balancing the load in a MANET is important because the nodes in MANET have limited com-munication resources such as bandwidth, buffer space, and battery power.Most of the current routing protocols for mobile Ad-hoc net-works consider the shortest path which is having minimum hop count as optimal route without considering any partic-ular node's traffic and resulting in degradation of the performance by causing serious problems in any perticular mo-bile node like congestion, queuing delay and power depletion.Therefore it is very attractive to investigate Routing protocols which use a Routing Metric to Balance Load in Ad-hoc net-works.This paper discusses about LBMPR (Load balancingwith multipath Routing Protocol) for efficient data transmis-sion in MANETs.
