The discovery process employs data flooding to propagate the routing control messages in the network. This process is very costly in terms of packet collisions, network contention and routing overhead, which significantly impacts the network performance. In addition, MANET mobility support is one of the prevalent factors that cause of links and routes breakage. Besides, MANET nodes are battery driven devices that are featured by limited energy lifetime and hardware resources. In this paper, a new routing protocol called Link Stability and Energy Aware (LSEA) is proposed, which is a modified version of Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol. LSEA employs a novel route discovery process that takes into account the links stability and the nodes residual energy to perform data routing. The simulation results show that LSEA reduces the ...

The basic flooding is shown to cause high retransmissions, packet collisions and media congestion that can significantly degrades the network performance. Knowing the geographical position of the mobile nodes can assist the protocol to reduce the number of retransmissions, enhancing therefore, the

In most reactive routing protocols, the discovery process for any dictation starts by sending a RREQ (Route request) to neighboring nodes. Then, the intermediate nodes will rebroadcast the RREQ until the destination is found.
Objective:
In this study, new techniques have been suggested to reduce the broadcast of the RREQ packets in the network, when the reactive routing protocols are used. These techniques are Closest Candidate Neighbors for Rebroadcasting the RREQ (C-CNRR) and Furthest Candidate Neighbors for Rebroadcasting the RREQ (F-CNRR).
Methodology:
The key concept behind these two routing protocols is to divide the transmission
range for each node that needs to find a path to a specific destination to four equal zones. Then, if no route is found in its routing table,
one node per zone will be smartly selected to rebroadcast the received RREQ.
Results:
The simulation results show that in term of
overhead, the C-CNRR and F-CNRR have better performance than th
e traditional ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol.
Conclusion:
Furthermore, reducing the overhead by more than 15% with our proposed techniques is reflected in an increase in the network throughput and a diminishing of data dropping.
