Wireless ad-hoc networks are the self organizable, self-maintained and ad-hoc by nature. Due to high mobility of nodes, the energy of a node is most important parameter in respect of network lifetime.. Routing in such a network is a big challenge.In this paper, we have proposed a fuzzy based scheme for enhancing the efficiency of AODV in wireless ad-hoc networks. Next hop selection is performed on the basis of node energy, its neighbour node enrgy, node degree. Thus next hop selection is taken by considering a number of parameters including number of hops. As we are considering energy based parameters for next hop selection, the lifetime of nodes and network is improved. Each node is embedded with a fuzzy controller system through which output parameter chance is calculated. Based on this chance value next hop selection is carried out.We have compared the proposed routing protocol F-EEAODV with AODV, DSR, and DSDV routing protocols. Simulation work is carried out using NS-2. The simulation results taken by NS-2 shows that our proposed scheme outperforms as compared to AODV in respect of throughput, end-to-end delay, propagation delay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
