QOS routing for mobile Ad Hoc networks using genetic algorithm
thesis
posted on 2011-02-15, 15:22 authored by Abdullah JiwaMobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are a class of infrastructure less network
architecture which are formed by a collection of mobile nodes that
communicate with each other using multihop wireless links. They eliminate the
need for central management, hence each node must operate cooperatively to
successfully maintain the network. Each node performs as a source, a sink and
a router. Future applications of MANETs are expected to be based on all-IP
architecture, carrying a multitude of real-time multimedia applications such as
voice, video and data. It would be necessary for MANETs to have an efficient
routing and quality of service (QoS) mechanism to support diverse applications.
This thesis proposes a set of cooperative protocols that provide support for QoS
routing. The first is the on-demand, Non-Disjoint Multiple Routes Discovery
protocol (NDMRD). NDMRD allows the establishment of multiple paths with
node non-disjoint between source and destination node. It returns to the
source a collection of routes with the QoS parameters. The second part of the
protocol is the Node State Monitoring protocol for the purpose of monitoring,
acquisition, dissemination and accumulation of QoS route information. The third
part of the protocol implements the QoS route selection based on a Genetic
Algorithm. The GA is implemented online with predetermined initial population
and weighted-sum fitness function which operates simultaneously on the node
bandwidth, media access delay, end to end delay and the node connectivity
index (n). The term node connectivity index is a numerical value designed to
predict comparatively the longest time a node-pair might be connected
wirelessly.
