Energy-Efficient and Reliable Routing for Mobility Prediction-Based MANETs

摘要

An energy-efficient and reliable routing optimization scheme for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is investigated in this paper. Three elements are regarded as the most important keys that affect system performance, these three elements are transmission power, interference, and link lifetime. The contribution of this paper is the development of an optimal routing algorithm called the Energy-Efficient and Reliable Routing (EERR). The EERR algorithm exploits location information to allocate optimal transmission power subject to the key elements above and adapts it for different network scenarios. The interaction of these elements and their effects on routing are studied. Simulations demonstrate that EERR has high network performance and outperforms PEER and AODV, a state-of-the-art.
