Abstract
An ad hoc network is composed by autonomous, potentially mobile, wireless nodes that operate without the benefit of any existing infrastructure. Each node is can move arbitrary and carries out self-administration and self-organization. For this reason, there are cases in which non-planned route’s construction may lead to a decline of the network performance. In this paper, we present a new routing protocol that uses the load balancing and multi-path solution to send data with a probabilistic dispersion. In this research, the total load on a route is evaluated based on the relay node’s queue size. Simulation experiments have been made to compare some of the existing protocols with the proposed routing protocol. We have shown by simulations results that our proposed solution efficiently disperses the load and improves the network performance.
