Improved frog leap inspired protocol (IFLIP) – for routing in cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHN)
Abstract
Purpose
End-to-end latency in network affects the overall performance in number of ways. It is one of the major tasks to minimize the end-to-end latency in cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHN), as the transmission of packets passes through every hop of the routing path. This paper aims to propose a new reactive multicast routing protocol, namely, improved frog leap inspired protocol (IFLIP) to reduce the overall end-to-end latency in CRAHN.
Design/methodology/approach
It is difficult to solve the problems that emerge in optimization. Routing is the procedure for choosing the best network path. This paper proposes a novel algorithm by improving the FLIP to use an ideal route, which progressively reduces the congestion level on various routing path by considering the spectrum accessibility and the service rate of each hop in CRAHN.
Findings
Result of this research work concludes that IFLIP significantly outperforms other baseline schemes (namely, TIGHT and Greedy TIGHT) in minimizing the end-to-end latency in CRAHN.
Originality/value
It is proved that IFLIP gives a better ratio of packet delivery under varying primary users and secondary users. IFLIP results in increased packet deliver ratio, reduced end-to-end latency and better throughput.
