Abstract
Background & Objective:
Mobile ad hoc networks are defined as highly dynamic, leading
to frequent disconnections and changing topologies. The energy and stability of power limited nodes
needs to be managed while designing the protocol & clustering helps in reducing the problem of
network congestion due to information overhead in large sized networks. Multipath routing helps in
balancing the load and node failures in a dynamic environment thereby helping to solve the problem
of congestion. This paper proposes a new multipath, energy-aware and stable routing protocol –
Weighted Multipath Energy-aware Clustered Stable routing protocol (WMECS).
Methods:
It uses weighted approach in clustered mobile adhoc networks. In this, both cluster head as
well as path selection is done using an optimal energy and mobility model. This helps in attaining
stable and energy efficient network with prolonged lifetime. The energy model considers energy metrics
like transmission power, drain rate and power load that helps in constructing a network with
lower energy consumption. We have also considered Gauss-Markov Mobility Model to handle the
mobility of nodes and attain a stable network with less re-clustering and re-affiliations by choosing
low relative mobility nodes in every cluster. Multipath selection is done based on a weighted metric
that considers energy and mobility coefficients whereas Optimal Paths are selected on the basis of
lower weight.
Results:
Simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better performance when compared
with other related protocols in terms of Energy Consumption, Network Lifetime and end to end delay.
