Abstract
During data transmission, a decentralised Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) might result in high Energy Consumption (EC) and a short Network Lifetime (NLife). To address these difficulties, an on‐demand Power and Load‐Aware multipath node‐disjoint source routing is presented based on the Enhanced Opportunistic Routing (PLAEOR) protocol. This unique protocol aims at using power, load, and latency to manage routing costs depending on control packet flooding from the destination node. However, the exchange of control packets from the target to all nodes may impact network efficiency. As a result, the PLAEOR is designed with a Multichannel Cooperative Neighbor Discovery (MCND) protocol to locate the nearby cooperative nodes for each node in the routing path during control packet transmission. Furthermore, when the packet rate of CBR is 20 packets/sec, the simulated results show that the PLAEOR‐MCND achieves 120 sec of NLife and 20 J of EC than the state‐of‐the‐art protocols.
