SLBQT-DSR: Source-based load balancing routing algorithm under constraints of quality of transmision for manet

Abstract

The routing technique under the constraints of quality of transmision (QoT) in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) has been studied widely recently. For this routing technique, QoT of data transmission routes is improved. However, for the network models with mesh topologies such as MANET. The routing technique under the constraints of QoT can increase the bottlenecks due to the unbalanced traffic load. In this paper, we inprove the DSR protocol by using the source-based load balancing in combined with the QoT constraint. The simulation result have shown that, the proposed algorithm outperforms the original algorithms in terms of the signal to noise ratio, bit error rate, blocking probability of the data packets and throughput.
