CA-AODV: Congestion Adaptive AODV Routing Protocol for Streaming Video in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 1 2 Boraiah RAMESH , Dhanabalachandran MANJULA 1Department of Computer Science and Engineering, College of Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, India 2Department of Computer Science and Engineering, College of Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, India Email: sanchara@1, manju@2 Received July 20, 2008; revised October 10, 2008; accepted October 14, 2008 Abstract Whenever streaming of multimedia based data such as video, audio and text is performed traffic will be more and network becomes congested in mobile ad hoc networks. The present routing protocols are not able to cope up with this situation. It is observed that network congestion is the dominant reason for packet loss, longer delay and delay jitter in streaming video. Most of the present routing protocols are not designed to adapt to congestion control. We propose a new routing protocol, Congestion Adaptive AODV Routing Protocol (CA-AODV), to address the congestion issues considering delay, packet loss and routing overhead. To evaluate their performance, we have considered mpeg4 for streaming video data using network simulator (NS2). CA- AODV outperforms present protocols in delivery ratio and delay, while introducing less routing protocol overhead. The result demonstrates that integrating congestion adaptive mechanisms with AODV is a promising way to improve per
