Abstract

This paper aims to design and develop energy conscious reliable routing protocol based on fuzzy logic towards clustering in wireless ad
hoc networks. For the past several decades the clustering problem for wireless ad hoc networks is proposed by several researchers. This research
work takes the objective of energy conscious routing since nodes present in the wireless ad hoc networks are battery powered. This paper comprises
of fuzzy logic If-Then rules to formulate the objective by using metrics such as delay and residual energy. By using the EC-algorithm along with
fuzzy if-then rules, ECRRP is designed and developed. Performance metrics such as average number of clusters, reaffiliation rate and dominant set
update are taken into account for comparing the proposed routing protocol with WCA algorithm. Simulations are done using NS2 and the simulated
results shows that the proposed ECRRP outperforms WCA.
