An Intelligent Neighbour Node Cooperative Routing Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

The mobile ad hoc network plays a prominent role in modern communication industry because of its low cost implementation. The nodes will operate without fixed infrastructure for communicating among them. Energy efficient communication is a fundamental problem in wireless networks. We need to design a new routing protocols for MANET’s for its new challenges like node mobility, quality of service (QoS), minimal bandwidth and less power supply. These difficulties set new research area on cooperative routing protocols for efficient path selection, low cost overhead and energy efficient routing. In this paper, we try to devise an Intelligent Neighbour Node Cooperative Routing Algorithm that avoids loops in routing, the problem of count-to-infinity and also has optimal number of message exchanges. The proposed Intelligent Neighbour Node Cooperative Routing protocol has two important characteristics such as intelligence and trust. The node is considered as intelligent Neighbour it should have the property of consistency preserve about its information. The node is considered trust, if it does not deceive the information that will misunderstood by the neighbours about their routing tables which are created already.
