Abstract

The existing on-demand routing protocol in Ad-Hoc network is suitable to the wireless network, which has frequent movement of nodes. But, traffic is concentrated into the particular node where the mobility of the nodes is low because it cannot find new route till the network topology alters (even when the acting route is complicated). Besides, when network is stable, data is transmitted after choosing shortest path without any consideration of any particular node's traffic, and then traffic is concentrated into a particular node, which raises the problem of delay of transmission and huge energy consuming. We suggest a load-balanced routing method, which considers energy consumption. Our method improves the function of route discovery by adding energy factor to the existing DSR(Dynamic Source Routing).
