Abstract :
The two well-known on-demand protocols for ad hoc networks - DSR and AODV show degraded performance with traffic load increase. In this paper, we propose a traffic-balanced scheme, called TB scheme, to solve this problem. The TB scheme adopts MAC layer information for routing decisions. It avoids involving heavy loaded nodes in a new route and thus balances network traffic. Simulation results show that the new scheme significantly improves DSR and AODV´s performance under heavy load conditions.
