Enhancing the connectivity of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks by considering the Power, mobility, and activity of nodes
Finding the best routing path in the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks(MANETs) is a very critical issue when designing MANET protocols, since many conditions affects the topology of the network, one critical condition is nodes power; it affects the node availability and network connectivity, so that the power of overall nodes should be used wisely to keep the topology stable and durable as far as possible. Another condition is the node mobility as nodes of MANET are mobile for all the time, the third condition is the node itself where the node operational time is considered to be a new factor. In our work we propose a new method for finding the best routing path based on these three factors.
Keywords: MANET, power consumption, mobility, operational time, connectivity
