STABILITY ROUTING IN FSO-MANETS

Deena George, S Perumal Sankar

Abstract: Routing in MANET is one of the most researched areas in the field of networking; moreover it is one of the most complex tasks. RF based transmission techniques are widely used in wireless communication networks. Due to the availability of sophisticated optical components, the networking domain could be merged with optical domain to have a higher capacity and better transmission. So in order to overcome the disadvantages of RF domain, we can use light as a medium between nodes. i.e, FSOMANET. This work is aimed at designing an efficient routing in FSO MANET. This paper proposes a method to find the stable path as well as stable nodes between the source and destination. The steps are as follows. i) Topology Management ii) Trust Level Calculation iii) Award and Reward ranking iv)Path Selection. The proposed technique will be implemented in the working platform of MATLAB.
