Abstract

Wireless ad hoc networks are consisted of mobile nodes with limited bandwidth, computing ability and energy, which is different from the traditional wired networks. On demand routing protocols are proposed for this type of network, and they scale well with the topology of ad hoc network. But due to lack of knowledge of global topology and the mobility of nodes, they may be not optimal. We propose a Neighbor-Aware Optimizing Routing algorithm (called NAOR) based on SHORT [1] which uses hop comparison array to optimize the routing protocol. Our NAOR algorithm solves those special cases which SHORT fails to handle. Finally, we use ns-2 simulator to evaluate the performance of AODV, AODV using SHORT and AODV using NAOR. The results show that NAOR gets better improvement on performance such as delivery rate and latency than SHORT.
