| Summary: | Future wireless applications will take advantage of rapidly deployable and
self-configuring ad hoc networks. Many ad hoc networks utilize hello message to
determine local connectivity. The factors that influence the utility of hello messages
based on Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) were investigated by many
researchers. In this project, an analysis of the two existing problems of AODV in
mobile ad hoc networks is presented and a new mechanism is proposed.
We present an improved scheme called traffic-aware beacon which is based on
original AODV for dynamic traffic environment. This modified protocol analyzes
different network traffic and then adapts the broadcasting frequency of hello messages.
In additional, the transmission rate can be increased when the channels between
neighbors are in a light traffic. Compared with the original AODV in the same
scenario, the modified AODV achieves better performance in terms of packet
throughput (CBR model) as well as packet drop ratio (VBR model).
