Abstract :
Minimum-hop strategy of normal routing protocols for ad hoc wireless networks doesn´t consider the load of the network, which may lead to network congestion and degrade performance of the network thereafter. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a simple and effective modified version of AODV-Load-Aware AODV (LA-AODV), in which, each node decides whether or not to accept routing requests from other nodes according to its local link layer load. Simulation results show that the upgraded LA-AODV performs better than AODV, which bring the overall improvement on the network performance.
