A Improved Routing Algorithm for MAODV Based on Path Stability

In mobile Ad Hoc network, node movement makes the network topology change frequently. In order to improve the stability of routing, a new routing protocol PPC-MAODV (Path Prediction compute based multicast Ad-hoc on-demand Routing Protocol) is proposed in this paper. This protocol takes the path stability into account and reduces the times of route repairing and route reconstructing by selecting the path with the high stability and less hops to transmit data. Simulations show that the PPC-MAODV proposed in this paper is valid and can reduce the packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay.
