Today’s wide spread use of mobile devices such as: mobile phones, tablets, laptops and many others had driven the wireless Mobile Network growth especially the Mobile Ad hoc Networks commonly referred to as MANETs. Since the routing process is regarded as the core of communication and is associated with the network performance metrics, then its improvement will be revealed in the whole network performance improvement. Due to users’ mobility, limited battery power, and limited transmission ranges, the current routing protocols should consider the stability of routes. Hence, the lack of resources of MANETs may result in imprecise routing decisions. In this paper, the proposed fuzzy model is used to handle imprecision of routing decisions by Fuzzy stability model for Dynamic Source Routing (FSDSR). Regarding the number of hops per route, cache size, end-to-end delay and route discovery time, the results showed that FSDSR has outperformed the state of art protocol Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR).
