Position-based Selective Neighbors

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a routing protocol, named Position-based Selective Neighbors (PSN), for controlling the Route Request (RREQ) propagation in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). PSN relies on the Residual Energy (RE) and the Link Lifetimes (LLT) factors to select the better end-to-end paths between mobile nodes. The key concept is to consider the RE and the LLT to find the best neighboring nodes to forward the received RREQs. A Simulation has been performed to compare PSN with other pioneering routing protocols. Experimental results show that PSN performs better than its competitors. Indeed, our protocol increases the network life time and reduces the network overhead. Furthermore, it reduces the overhead generated by the redundant RREQ, while maintaining good reachability among the mobile nodes.
