A Reliable Route Selection Scheme Based on Caution Zone and Nodes' Arrival Angle

A route selection scheme based on RSS is proposed to improve the reliability of MANETs in terms of packet delivery ratio and the usage of routing packets. The proposed approach estimates the node's arrival angle using RSS variations to obtain route's lifetime and to decide about the convenience of a neigh boring node. Obtained results outperform other approaches using RSS, which does not take into consideration nodes' mobility.
