Improving Fairness and throughput by Backing of Time (BoT) function in Wireless ad hoc networks

Abstract

This is the era of wireless communication. The world is going through the revolution in wireless communication technology and its many applications. It caught the attention of the media and the imagination of the public. Several wireless communication networks that rely on infrastructure such as cellular networks, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN), Bluetooth, Ultra-wideband networks (UWB), Wi-Max are very popular and extend with a very fast pace. In a proposed work, A novel method is proposed to enhance the throughput of the wireless ad hoc network using Backing of Time (BoT) method. This method utilizes the concept of Asymmetric RTS/CTS method in efficient manner according to energy level of wireless nodes. The proposed method is simulated and compared with Standard RTS/CTS and Asymmetric RTS/CTS methods based on parameters like Packet Delivery Ratio, Routing Overhead, E-2-E delay, Throughput and Energy Consumption of the network. The proposed work outperforms to the existing methods and simulation results showed 8.31% of improvement to PDR, 12.12% of improvement to RO, 1.11% of improvement to E-2-E Delay, 1.05% of improvement to throughput, 35.76% of improvement to Energy Consumption.
