An Adaptive Traffic Allocation Algorithm in MANET

A dynamic traffic allocation algorithm based on packet delay and hops in Mobile Ad hoc networks is proposed. The algorithm is based on the minimization product of delay and the number of hops in each path and adjusts the traffic adaptively so as to make load-balanced which optimizes network resource utilization. Simulation demonstrated that the algorithm could dynamically balance the traffic allocation between paths. The aim of the minimum utilization of resource in mobile Ad hoc networks can be achieved.
