Path-reputation based technique in reactive AODV Ad Hoc sensor networks routing for flood warning application

This paper emphasises on a modification of a well-known reactive routing protocol, namely, ad hoc on demand (AODV) for flood warning application by using the statical analysis Monte Carlo method. An extension of AODV has been incorporated with the trust evaluation system which is generally known as the reputation value. The work shows the process of development of node reputation as an immediacy indexed to the reputation for all the routes, namely, path reputation to increase the system reliability. The mathematical framework for the path reputation with Monte Carlo (PRMC) has been shown. The implementation of the PRMC were conducted on five different scenarios. The results are presented in terms of the remaining energy and the remaining lifetime. From the reported results, by using the intelligence control, our proposed method outperforms the other routing protocols. The improvement of remaining energy can be saved by up to approximately 15% for both cases. Finally, the calculation of computational complexity are shown for each algorithm.
