Abstract

Routing is a challenging issue which should be handled in a timely manner without unnecessary time delays in MANETs. The choice of the constants affects timeliness of protocol. AODV suggests that the Node Traversal Time (NTT) should be a constant value but does not mention how this value to be adjusted with network size. The proposed method " Fuzzy Based Node Traversal Time AODV (FBNTTAODV)" suggests that the Node Traversal Time should be a suitable value with the network size and the results shows that it performs better than AODV.
