Load Balanced AOMDV-An Enhancement to AOMDV Protocol

Abstract

MANETs are one of the most challenging and growing search fields because of their demand and challenges in delivering services. Load balancing is one of MANET's key problems since network load balancing is essential for better network life, QoS, and congestion control. The approach proposed in the research emphasizes on load stability and the distribution of traffic on the network on the basis of energy of the nodes. The simulations are performed in NS2. The results show that the proposed algorithm was able to reach the distribution and performance of the battery pack without increasing overhead in the network. But Average remaining energy is still more in case of AOMDV which further leads to trade-off. The algorithm proposed has also managed to consume a balanced energy of all nodes in the network.
