Delay Sensitive Adaptive Pouting Protocol for ad hoc network

Abstract

A novel routing protocol for ad hoc networks - DSARP (Delay Sensitive Adaptive Routing Protocol) - is presented in this paper. According to DSARP, the reliable route for delay sensitive traffic can be supplied and the route can be selected based on the constrained condition - "the shortest route and the lowest average delay". Therefore, the "hotspot" on the shortest path can be avoided. Meanwhile, DSARP can provide a QoS guarantee and improve the performance of the network. Simulation results show that DSARP performs better than the DSR routing protocol used in ad hoc wireless networks.
