Stability Aware Routing in MANET

Abstract: An ad hoc wireless network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that establish some kind of coordination among them to form a network. In ad hoc networks, all nodes share a single radio channel. Therefore, nodes that are within radio distance of other nodes can directly connect with each other [1]. Mobility increases the difficulty of communications among nodes due to variable radio channels and multi-path fading. While ad hoc networks have expanded and their technology has advanced considerably, there are still issues that need to be looked at more closely. These issues include throughput, delay, channel capacity, and power consumption. Power is a crucial factor especially in mobile ad hoc networks. In order to keep the network alive it is acting as fuel. Thus, power conservation helps in prolong network life. Here, in this paper we are presenting a new approach “Stability Aware Routing in MANET”.
