Improving AODV Routing Protocol with Priority and Power Efficiency in Mobile Ad hoc WiMAX Network

These days’ ad hoc networks have found many applications. Multiple ad hoc routing protocols have been proposed, of which ondemand routing protocols are very popular because they are easy to realize and have no power and priority concept for data communication in routing. In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), routing protocol plays the most important role. In the last decade, Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol becomes the attention of focused research on MANETs world wide. A lot of protocols had been proposed to improve and optimize AODV routing protocol to achieve the best in quest of reliable protocol. In this paper, we present some improvement suggestion to AODV routing protocol. Our proposed protocol, called AODV-PP, improved AODV in Priority models and in Power consumption. We also measure performance indicators for some metrics, such as energy, routing overhead, end-to-end delay, and packet delivery ratio, in WiMAX adhoc network.
