QACRM: QoS Aware AHP Based Cognitive Route Selection in MANETs

Abstract

An efficient and reliable route is the backbone of a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). nodes can move around freely, due to the dynamic nature of MANETs, and there is no fixed topology. Thus, route selection becomes a very critical issue, as many factors affect the communication between mobile nodes. Limited battery life and moving nodes lead to frequent route changes, and increase in hops and delays cause rapid battery consumption. Mobility is a critical factor that affects the communication between nodes of a wireless ad hoc network. Conventional algorithms consider hop count as the only parameter during selection of a route from source to destination and other significant QoS parameters like battery, mobility, end-to-end delay are ignored. As a consequence, these approaches do not attain the desired packet delivery ratio levels needed for a highly dynamic network. This paper proposes a QoS aware AHP based Cognitive Route selection in MANETs (QACRM). It is an Analytic Hierarchy Process-Simple Additive Weighing (AHP-SAW) based cognitive approach for optimal route selection. In this work, routes are ranked based on hop count, battery, mobility, and end-to-end delay. The importance of QoS parameters is decided based on human expert judgement provided to the system. The route which is ranked highest is selected for transmission. This approach identifies reliable and optimal routes for communication between the nodes. Results attest that the proposed technique (QACRM) performs better when compared with AODV and other existing methods for packet delivery ratio, consumption of energy, size of network, and changing least number of routes in a dynamic environment.
