Improving the Routing Performance of Mobile Ad hoc Networks Using Domination Set

AbstractMobile Ad hoc network is a self organized, self maintained network. Node movement is the important factor of increasing the control overhead in the network. The main objective of the paper is to reduce the control overhead by using the domination set based routing. The nodes which use to connect all the other nodes in the network are called dominating nodes, and the set of dominating nodes forms domination set. This paper proposes a new approach for finding the route and reducing the reroute establishment delay and increasing the packet delivery ratio. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated through simulation study
