Abstract

Mobile  Ad  hoc  Networks  consist  of  mobile  
nodes with  limited battery  power. The  critical  issue  for routing  in mobile  ad  hoc  network  is  how  to  select  a  stable  path  with longer lifetime since mobility and power drain of a node causes frequent  path failure. This path failure causes  frequent route discovery   which   affects   the   performance   of   the   routing protocol.   The   path   failure   also   increases  
computational overhead of the nodes. Hence, in this paper, we propose three algorithms to estimate the stability of the route by considering the energy drain of the nodes and the rate of mobility. Finally we  implement  our  proposed  algorithms  in  AODV  and  the performance  is  evaluated  against  the  
original the performance of the routing protocol. So the route needs to be discovered with longer route lifetime with fewer changes. As the route consists of number of wireless links, the route 
lifetime depends on the life time of nodes and individual 
links. 
The route discovery without considering the 
lifetime of the route leads to frequent failure and thereby to 
route discovery. As a result the computational overhead 
of the routing protocol increases considerably. 
 AODV. 
 Our protocol improves the network 
performance  and  reduces  the computation  overhead  by  
avoiding  frequent  route  discovery since we select a stable  
path with longest life time. With  the help of  network  
simulator we substantiate  that our 
 proposed protocol   
performs   better  than  the   existing  stability-based routing  
protocols  with  improved  packet  delivery  ratio  and reduced 
routing overhead.
