1 INTRODUCTION

A mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous communication system of mobile nodes having radio transmitters and receiv- ers. The device is free to move in any direction independently and links among these devices changed normally. Ad hoc is a Latin word and it standing for “for this purpose”. Mobile ad hoc network could be a wireless network that transmits from pc to pc. In ad-hoc networks, some pairs of terminals might not be able to communicate directly with one another and re- laying of some messages is needed, in order that they are de- livered to their destinations. Such networks square measure usually remarked as multi-hop or store-and-forward net- works. Mobile hosts and wireless working hardware have be- come wide out there and in depth work has been done recent- ly in group action these parts into ancient networks like the web. Usually events square measure used as means that of communications between simulation entities.
MANET is a form of independent dynamic structured net- work, where each node treats like router and freely moves in the environment so that dynamic behavior a rises the problem for measuring quality of service dependent parameter. This problem motivates the work for identification of quality of service dependent parameter using Taguchi loss function and provides solution for that problem.

2 TAGUCHIS LOSS FUNCTION

Taguchi’s loss perform parameter style could be a powerful technique to see the best combination parameters. The most objective is to use Taguchi style for predicting the higher pa- rameters which will optimize the performance metric through the setting of style parameters and cut back the sensitivity of the system performance to the supply of variation. Taguchi parameter style uses a special style of orthogonal arrays (OAs) to check the complete factors with little variety of experiment solely. The world organization have a balanced property dur- ing which each parameter setting happens an equivalent vari- ety of times for each setting of all alternative parameters with-
in the experiment. The world organization permits researchers or designers to check several parameters at the same time and might be accustomed estimate the consequences of every pa- rameter freelance of the opposite parameters. Taguchi used a loss perform to calculate the deviation between the experi- mental price and therefore the desired price. The loss perform is completely different for various objective functions. Typical- ly, higher turnout and lower the quantity of packet drop and routing overhead area unit want ready in ad-hoc networks system. Therefore, to get best ad-hoc network style, the larger- the-better performance metric for turnout should be taken. Taguchi methodology emphasizes the importance of the cen- ter (parameter style) stage within the total style process; a stage that is commonly neglected in industrial design observe. The methodology involves the identification of these parame- ters that area unit underneath the management of the design- er, then the institution of a series of experiments to ascertain that set of these parameters that has the best influence on the performance and variation of the planning. The sty leer so is ready to spot the elements of a design that most influence the required outcome of the planning method.
The second connected side of the Taguchi methodology - the Taguchi loss perform or quality loss perform maintains that their 'associate increasing loss each for producers and for soci- ety at massive, that could be a perform of the deviation or var- iability from the best or target price of any style parameter. The larger the deviation from target, the larger is that the loss. The idea of loss being keen about variation is well established in style theory, and at a systems level is expounded to the ad- vantages and price related to responsibility.

4 DESCRIPTION OF ROUTING PROTOCOLS

A routing protocol maintains the network topology for a Wireless Ad hoc Network. If a link breaks [3], routing protocols has the responsibility to repair that link in order to maintain the consistency of the network. Different routing protocols have various strategies to repair a broken link. The repair strategy is quite specific to each strategic routing protocol; therefore it is quite hard to analyze the pros and cons of each protocol. What we can do is to find the link break probabilities of different categories of routing protocols since the problem greatly influence the efficiency of a routing protocol. We will analyze the link break problem, the influence of the problem on each categories of routing protocol, and the incurred routing table update to them. The categories of most popular routing protocols, table-driven, on-demand and hybrid routing protocols, are discussed in this article [8, 9].

4.1 PROACTIVE (TABLE-DRIVEN)

The pro-active routing protocols are the same as current Internet routing protocols such as the Routing Information Protocol, Distance-Vector, Open Shortest Path First and link- state. They attempt to maintain consistent, up-to-date routing information of the whole network. Each node has to maintain one or more tables to store routing information, and response to changes in network topology by broadcasting and propagating. Some of the existing pro-active ad hoc routing protocols are: Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Wireless Routing Protocol (WRP).

4.2 REACTIVE (SOURCE-INITIATED ON-DEMAND DRIVEN)

These protocols try to eliminate the conventional routing tables and consequently reduce the need for updating these tables to track changes in the network topology. When a source requires to a destination, it has to establish a route by route discovery procedure, maintain it by some form of route maintenance procedure until either the route is no longer desired or it becomes inaccessible, and finally tear down it by route deletion procedure. In pro-active routing protocols, routes are always available (regardless of need), with the consumption of signaling traffic and power. Some of reactive routing protocols are Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR).

4.3 HYBRID PROTOCOLS

Hybrid protocols combine the features of reactive and proactive protocols. These protocols have the advantage of both proactive and reactive routing protocols to balance the delay which was the disadvantage of Table driven protocols and control overhead (in terms of control packages). Main feature of Hybrid Routing protocol is that the routing is
proactive for short distances and reactive for long distances. The common disadvantage of hybrid routing protocols is that the nodes have to maintain high level topological information which leads to more memory and power consumption. Examples: ZRP (Zone Routing Protocol).

5 DESCRIPTION OF AODV ROUTING PROTOCOL

Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) [10] is source initiated reactive protocol. It discovers and maintains routes only if and when necessary. Route discovery works as follows. When the source requires a path to a particular destination, it broadcasts a route request (RREQ) packet in the Wireless Ad hoc Network. Nodes receiving RREQ record a reverse route back towards the source, using the node from which the RREQ was received as the next-hop, and then re-broadcasts the RREQ. If the same RREQ is received more than once (via different routes), it is ignored. This way the RREQ packets are flooded to every node in the connected part of the network.
When the RREQ packet reaches the destination, it sends a route reply (RREP) packet back to the source, using the reverse route. If an intermediate node has an up-to-date route to the destination, it may also send a RREP packet back to the source on behalf of the destination. As the RREP packet follows the path back to the source, the corresponding forward route is created at each intermediate node towards the destination. Once the RREP packet reaches the source, data traffic can now flow along this forward route.
To prevent routing loops, AODV maintains a sequence number on each node. Any routing information transmitted on routing packets or maintained on a node is tagged with the last known sequence number for the destination of the route. AODV protocol guarantees the invariant that the destination sequence numbers in the routing table entries on the nodes along a valid route are always monotonically increasing. Other than preventing loops, sequence numbers also ensure freshness of routes. Given a choice of multiple routes, the one with a newer sequence number is always chosen.
An important feature of AODV is maintenance of timer based states in each node, regarding utilization of individual routes. A route is “expired” if not used recently. A set of predecessor nodes is maintained for each routing table entry, indicating a set of neighboring nodes that use that entry to route data packets. These nodes are notified with route error (RERR) packets when the next hop link breaks. Each predecessor node, in turn, forwards the RERR to its own set of predecessors, thus effectively erasing all routes using the broken link. This RERR is thus propagated to each source routing traffic through the failed link, causing the route discovery process to be reinitiated if routes are still needed.
