Long Lived Associativity Based Routing Protocol Based on RSSI

Wireless mobile ad-hoc networks are gaining the importance in field of Wireless Networks research. In an ad-hoc mobile network where mobile hosts (MHs) are acting as routers and where routes are made inconsistent by MHs’ movement, we employ an associativity-based routing scheme where a route is selected based on nodes having associativity states that imply degree of stability. In Manets to adopt an efficient and secure routing mechanism is one of the major issues for the network. The paper discuss the tuning of ABR (Associativity based routing protocol) whose routing is based on the concept of link stability. This paper proposes long lived ABR scheme which is based on RSSI (Received signal strength indication) instead of links stability. The protocol is free from loops, deadlock and packet duplicates which helps to enhance the performance of long lived ABR in contract with ABR protocol .
