FW-AODV : An Optimized AODV Routing Protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper we present a new optimized Adhoc on Demand Distance Vector reactive routing approach for Wireless Mesh Networks namely FW-AODV. The algorithm uses fuzzy logic based integrated link cost based cost measure to evaluate route cost. The proposed FW-AODV approach has modified the working of Adhoc on Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) routing protocol. The AODV routing protocol becomes unreliable as the mobility of nodes and size of Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) increases. The proposed approach is able to negotiate well with the node mobility and network issues. AODV is one of the most popular and commonly used reactive routing protocols. On the other hand proactive routing techniques increase control traffic of the network and require more bandwidth. The proposed FW-AODV approach has changed the least cost route evaluation process and the maintenance phase of AODV. The proposed approach was implemented in MATLAB and was validated on different network scenarios. The FW-AODV is compared with AODV, BAT and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based approaches. The of proposed approach proved to be much superior than the other three approaches.
