Abstract:

A novel routing discovery algorithm for MANETs was proposed based on reliable residual path lifetime (RPL) prediction (RLE-RPLP).Correlation between residual link lifetime (RLL) of neighboring links was explicitly investigated and fully taken into account in stability estimation of multi-hop paths in the algorithm.Optimized RPL statistical proper-ties were further explored to offer a more reliable path stability metric.Simulation analysis demonstrates that the pro-posed RLE-RPLP routing discovery algorithm shows prominent superiority in improving network throughput and reduc-ing route reconstruction frequency.Moreover,compared with the existing link stability-aware routing protocol,the RLE-RPLP achieves better performance improvement in terms of throughput and routing overhead.

Key words: MANET, residual link lifetime, mobility correlation, residual path lifetime, stability estimation
