SINR and RSSI Based Optimized AODV Routing Protocol for MANET using Cross Layer Interaction

"Abstract-In this paper we define cross layer interaction system in which we have MAC level rate selection based signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio(SNIR) and received signal strength indicator (RSSI) information from physical layer .Cross layer design involves the passing information between physical layer to MAC layer. We use a new metric definition to route the packet and to choose strongest path in multi routes and highest received signal strength. SINR is commonly used in wireless communication as a way to compute the quality of wireless connections and RSSI which determines the received signal strength in wireless environment .Simulation results optimized AODV protocol perform better than AODV protocol in terms of metrics: End to END delay, Packet delivery ratio, throughput.
