Abstract:

Wireless infrastructure-less networks are designed to provide access irrespective of geographical positioning, featuring key attributes such as mobility, heterogeneous resource utilization, peer-to-peer communication, adaptability, and self-forming capabilities. These networks find crucial applications in health management, military operations, and disaster relief, where efficient communication is imperative. The linchpin of communication in such networks lies in routing, which entails creating a path from source to destination and forwarding data in the form of packets. However, efficient routing becomes paramount when considering the constraints of limited buffer capacity within these networks. In this paper, we introduce a novel buffer-aware route-finding mechanism, leveraging the knapsack algorithm to optimize the packet processing ability of nodes based on their residual buffer size. The primary focus of this protocol is to mitigate the packet loss issue stemming from buffer overflow, a common challenge in infrastructure-less networks. We meticulously execute, evaluate, and validate our proposed mechanism using the NS-2 simulator. Our results unequivocally demonstrate the significant enhancement in network performance achieved through implementing our approach, notably reducing packet loss. This innovative buffer-aware routing solution holds immense promise for improving the reliability and efficiency of communication in infrastructure-less wireless networks, thereby contributing to the advancement of various critical applications.
