Load balancing is a primary consideration in Adhoc networks, due to scarcity of resources. Equitable distribution of the load reduces consumption of network resources and provides homogeneous traffic characteristics in the network, such as load per node or the time from end-to-end incurred on each path.In this paper we present an optimization of the reactive routing protocol AODV with load balancing. The goal is to provide a balanced distribution of traffic on different network nodes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
