Experimental evaluation of stable adaptive routing protocol

The stable adaptive routing protocol (SAR) is a novel on-demand stable adaptive routing protocol for ad hoc network proposed last year, which considers joint route hop counts, node stability and route traffic load balance as the route selection criteria in routes searching and maintain. This paper describes the performance evaluation of SAR protocol by a practical ad hoc network test-bed under typical indoor and outdoor environments. And compared to AODV routing protocol, SAR has better performance on system cost, successfully delivery ratio and average delay jitter, as shown in the measurement results.
