Intelligent Buffer Management Algorithm to Prevent Packet loss in Mobile Adhoc Network

Abstract

In a mobile ad hoc network, which is self-organized and operates without any fundamental infrastructure, packet transmission from the source node to the destination node is completed after sending the route request and route reply. A reliable path is then selected depending on the protocol choice. Data that the sender intends to deliver is broken up into packets and given sequence numbers before being transmitted over the channel. With the aid of an internal buffer that helps to receive packets and forward them to the next destination, each and every packet travels along the allotted path until it reaches its destination. If there is more traffic on the MANET, the buffer may overflow, which will result in packet loss during transmission.. The source node must retransmit to the destination if any packets were lost during the initial transfer. This article proposes the Intelligent Buffer Management (IBM) active buffer management algorithm to prevent such a scenario by enhancing the MANET nodes' buffers to prevent packet loss. The Network Simulator is used to help build this suggested approach, and the results are compared to those of the current buffer management method to show that IBM is superior.
