Archana Kumari · Communications on Applied Nonlinear Analysis · 2024
Due to the high mobility of nodes in the dynamic topology of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), it is challenging to define the precise position of a node in the network for effective data delivery. The paperproposed a hybrid algorithm for routing in MANETs called Adaptive GPSR with Dynamic Thresholds (AGDT). AGDT is a novel approach that combines the GPSR routing protocol with a dynamic threshold-based approach to increase the enactment of the network. The algorithm employs distance and direction-based thresholds to determine when to switch between GPSR and a perimeter-based approach for routing. The paper discusses the implementation of the algorithm and provides a performance evaluation of its effectiveness in comparison to other present routing algorithms. The results show that AGDT outperforms other protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and throughput. The paper concludes by highlighting the potential applications and benefits of the AGDT algorithm in MANETs.
