Abstract

In this paper, we propose an interference aware expanding region search algorithm to locate a destination in mobile ad hoc networks. In the proposed approach, signal to interference plus noise ration (SINR) is used in place of TTL field of a route request packet. The source node initializes the search query with a threshold value of SINR. Each relay node forwards the packet if its SINR satisfies the threshold criteria provided by the source node in RREQ packet. As a result, the low SINR nodes are removed in route discovery phase prior to the establishment of routes. The simulation results show that proposed algorithm provides significant improvement in performance of reactive routing protocol in terms of reduced routing overhead, reduced energy consumption, and increased network throughput.
