Network Lifetime through Link Stability using Fuzzy Logic in Mobile Ad Hoc Network
Keywords:
MANET, Link Stability, Residual Battery, Fuzzy LogicAbstract
Mobile ad hoc networks are more complex wireless networks, which have little or no existing network
infrastructure. These networks can be established in a spontaneous manner allowing organizations and network
members to work together and communicate, without a fixed communication structure. there are many issues in mobile
ad hoc networks like security, mobility, limited bandwidth and many more. So to increase the network lifetime in mobile
ad hoc networks here we are considered the residual battery and link stability. In MANET, route is only maintained
during short time and mobile nodes are connected with each others having limited battery capacity. Namely, it is very
important that we consider Link Stability and Battery Capacity at the same time in MANET. In recent years, much
research has been under taken to not only improve the energy efficiency but also to lengthen the network lifetime. Also by
using Fuzzy Logic is able to extend network lifetime by reducing power consumption and distributing traffic load
centralized into special node. We have used AODV as a basic routing protocol and network simulator 2 for simulation
and getting results.
