Minimization of link failure in Mobile Ad hoc Network by using RSS based AODV routing protocol

Abstract

This paper aims to avoid route breaks in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) while routing the data packets by using Received Signal Strength (RSS) based Ad hoc on demand Distance Vector routing protocol. The route break is predicted by using the parameter RSS and node density. The intermediate nodes locally repair the route if any route failure occurs in the network. The received signal strength denotes the power level on the received signal. It is used to estimate the strength of the received signal. If it is low means the link break is expected. The node density is used to describe that the number of nodes available within the communication range. Increase in the number of neighbor nodes increases the transmission delay by competing for obtaining the channel. So, the proposed scheme decreases the transmission delay and avoids route breaks in the network.
