Stipulated Region Based Routing (SRR) Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Due to limited transmission range and limited battery constraints of mobile nodes in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), routing in MANET becomes challenging especially when certain QoS requirements such as high data packet delivery ratio, low end to end delay and low routing overhead are to be satisfied. Even though a number of routing protocols have been proposed aiming to provide better network life time but none of them provide all these requirements at the same time. In this research article, we propose Stipulated Region Based Routing (SRR) algorithm which reduces overhead, end to end delay and eliminate redundant nodes that participated during route discovery process. The proposed SRR routing algorithm provides high packet delivery ratio and throughput when compare to AODV routing algorithm. The proposed SRR algorithm is simulated in NS 2.35 and the results show that our SRR algorithm performs better than AODV routing algorithm.
