Abstract

AODV and DSR are normally taken as a standard in reactive routing protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANETs). Both of these protocols are widely used in different applications of MANET because of their simple design and better performance. AODV does not provide optimal results in the scenarios where we have heavy traffic with large number of connections and higher routing load. In this paper, we have introduced a novel idea of “Reliability Factor” to determine reliable links between the intermediate nodes; based on this factor a reactive routing protocol is proposed, the simulation results of Reliability Factor Based Routing Protocol show that it outperforms AODV and SP-AODV in terms of better packet delivery fraction, routing load and end-to-end delay.
