Network Coding-Based Priority-Packet Scheduler Multipath Routing in MANET using Fuzzy Controllers

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless network that can be formed without the need for any pre-existing infrastructure in which each node can act as a router. Due to bandwidth constraint and dynamic topology of mobile ad hoc networks, multipath supported routing is a very important research issue. This paper proposes a Network Coding-based Priority-packet Scheduler Multipath routing in MANET using fuzzy controllers (NC-PSM). Specifically, differentiated packet scheme with feedback preference information (FPI) is studied in detail to illustrate the implement of the new approach. Simulation shows that the approach is efficient, promising and applicable in MANETs. The performance of the NC-PSM is studied using NS2 and evaluated in terms of the packet delivery ratio, packet overhead, and average end-to-end delay when a packet is transmitted. Simulation shows that the approach is efficient, promising and applicable in MANETs.
