An Efficient and Robust Hybrid Routing Protocol for Corroboration of Node Auto-configuration In MANET

Abstract

Address assignment is a key challenge in ad hoc networks due to the lack of infrastructure. For autonomous addressing routing protocols require a distributed and self-managed mechanism to avoid address collisions in a dynamic network with fading channels and joining/leaving nodes. The propose and analyze a lightweight hybrid protocol that configures mobile ad hoc nodes based on a distributed address database stored in filters i.e. unreliable wireless links by utilizing the local path diversity that reduces the control load and makes the proposal robust to packet losses and network partitions. For evaluate the performance of our protocol, considering joining nodes and network initialization. Simulation results show that our protocol resolves all the address collisions and also reduces the control traffic when compared to previously proposed protocols. Hybrid routing protocol remarkably improves the packet delivery ratio, while maintaining high energy efficiency and low delivery latency.
