Fuzzy Approach for Throughput Selection in Mobile Ad hoc Network

Abstract

Routing protocols are categories as table driven and on demand protocol. In table driven protocol all possible routes are already stored in the routing table at each node. Proactive protocols generate route on demand. In both type of routing bandwidth available for communication is limited. It is challenging to maintain desired throughput due to dynamic nature, limited bandwidth, and interference during communication. Throughput of ad hoc network is depends upon the parameters pause time of nodes, number of nodes, maximum speed and maximum connections of nodes of ad hoc network. We propose fuzzy logic to maintain desired throughput. Desired throughput is given as input to fuzzy inference system. The outcome of fuzzy system defines values for pause time, number of nodes, maximum speed and maximum connections. It helps to maintain desired throughput. Network simulator NS2.34 is used to perform simulations. Matlab is used to develop fuzzy inference system.
