Abstract

Ad hoc networks are dynamically configurable wireless networks that have no fixed infrastructures and do not require predefined configurations. We introduced a new intelligent routing protocol for wireless ad hoc networks. The Intelligent Wireless Ad Hoc Routing (IWAR) protocol is an on-demand protocol and self-configuring; it selects optimal routes, provides load balancing, and fault tolerance. IWAR dynamically adjusts its routing traffic based on the network configuration and status.This paper presents the evaluation of the IWAR protocol by simulation. The performance evaluation was conducted with lightly, moderately, and heavily loaded networks. In addition, the study includes the evaluation of IWAR protocol with stable networks and unstable network configurations. The throughputs and delays are used to measure the performance of the IWAR protocol. IWAR showed promising results that would make it a good routing protocol for wireless ad hoc networks.
