Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are vulnerable to having their optimality in variety of operations and calculations, compromised by various challenges. After an analysis on MANET routing, a load balancing and resource aware routing protocol is proposed which evaluates the routes with node’s residual energy, load information and computes delay along multiple paths for different service classes of the network? In this paper the evaluation results are presented that demonstrate the operation of Efficient Weighted innovative Routing Protocol (EWiRP) in mobile ad hoc environments. Simulations with EWiRP over AODV (single path) and MAODV (multipath), shows that the proposed scheme has a potential to improve performance significantly with respect to the aggregated throughput, jitter, end to end delay and delivery ratio. The proposed EWiRP algorithm intended for a variety of scenarios without much control overhead as the simulation study is performed by taking 25 and 50 nodes over different grid areas.
