Improvement of AODV Routing on MANETS Using Fuzzy Systems

Abstract

Most of routing protocols used for Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), such as Ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing, uses minimum hops as the only metric for choosing a route. This decision might lead to cause some nodes become congested which will degrade the network performance. This paper proposes an improvement of AODV routing algorithm by making routing decisions depend on fuzzy cost based on the delay in conjunction with number of hops in each path. Our simulation was carried out using OMNET++ 4.0 simulator and the evaluation results show that the proposed Fuzzy Multi-Constraint AODV routing performs better than the original AODV in terms of average end-to-end delay and packet delivery.
