Improved route selection algorithm based on TORA over mobile adhoc network

Abstract

MANETs are used in a variety of applications due to their ability to establish and release networks instantly without the need for a pre-established network or infrastructure. Here the challenging task is to search for the most efficient routing Energy is the main source of MANET and each node consumes energy during transmission. Energy-efficient protocols like AODV, DSR, TORA, etc. have already been proposed. In our proposed work we are using TORA to improve route selection. “Temporarily Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) is an adaptive loop-free routing protocol that works on route reversal method. The protocol is based on a link reversal algorithm and uses a direct acyclic graph (DAG) for route finding. As TORA maintains multi routes from source to destination, the energy drain is an issue so energy efficiency is of utmost importance. In this work, Mod TORA work as a load balancer with successor and feasible successor path for each connection considers the energy parameter & modifies the routing table. The purpose of selecting load balance is for the Fair battery consumption of the nodes and link failure purpose. We are changing the route selection mechanism. Mod TORA used Energy and multipath mechanism with optimized routing. The two best routes are found and if the first one fails then the second route is selected, to improve the performance of TORA and thus ultimately leading to load balancing.
