Energy aware path formation with link stability in wireless adhoc network

In this paper proposed a novel energy aware routing algorithm for ad-hoc network, called Stability of patH and residUal energy Based (SHUB) protocol. SHUB is used two important requirement of ad-hoc network as energy aware metric, link stability and path stability are used to prolong network lifetime. Link stability is calculated using link expiration time prediction algorithm and residual energy of node joined by the link in this article. Energy aware metrics, node cost in term of remaining energy. Energy consumed in transmission and receiving and the remaining energy considered in a single formulation, to find the energy formulation. This protocol is able to handle in large network size also. For comparison, evaluation of this proposed algorithm with two other existing proposed algorithms. In comparison protocol used is Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Link stAbility and Energy power aware routing (EPAR). Simulation is done using NS-2 and result shows our protocol outperforms the existing routing protocol. Using this routing strategy prolong network lifetime and also save the battery capacity of node.
