AbstractIn mobile ad-hoc network, the performance depends

on the adaptability of the underlying routing protocol to current
network condition. The existing fuzzy based cross layer routing
protocol in which the parameters such as number of hops and
mobile speed for estimating link stability in the network has the
drawback of leading to overhead and dependency. In turn
leading to delay and inefficiency in data transmission. In order to
overcome these drawbacks, in this paper we propose fuzzy based
optimal path selection by considering the path stability, the
residual energy of the nodes and bandwidth as parameters at the
source node. The path stability is estimated based on available
battery power, distance and link quality. The residual energy is
estimated for the node at both the situations, when the node
receives and transmits the data packets. Following the path
selection, fuzzy based transmission rate adjustment of source is
calculated by considering end to end delay and packet loss ratio
as parameters at destination node. Also we propose a method to
draw a table, which includes energy efficiency in all combination
of transmission power and rate, is updated by each node.

The routing protocol for MANET could be broadly

classified into two major categories based on the method of
keeping the information about routes in the network.
They are:
Proactive Routing Protocol
Reactive Routing Protocol

Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) [2] routing
protocol is one of the MANET routing protocols which comes
classified under reactive protocol. It provides efficient route
establishment between nodes in a wireless network
communication between mobile nodes with minimal control
overhead and minimal route acquisition latency. The two main
operations taking place in AODV protocol are Route
discovery and Route maintenance.

Fuzzy Inference System [3] is a system that uses fuzzy

logic to map a set of inputs to a set of outputs.
Fuzzy Logic was initiated to represent /manipulate data
possessing non-statistical uncertainties. Fuzzy logic is a multivalued logic which deals with reasoning that are approximate
rather than fixed and exact. Fuzzy logic variables may have
truth value that ranges on degree between 0 and 1. It has been
extended to handle the concept of partial truth and hence the
truth value ranges from completely true to completely false.
Fuzzy logic provides inference morphology and enables
approximate human reasoning capabilities to be applied to be
applied to knowledge based system.
The fuzzy logic provides mathematical strength to capture
the uncertainties associated with human cognitive process such
as thinking and reasoning

With the extensive growth of wireless handheld devices

and plummeting costs [1] has emerged as a major area of
research for both academics and the industrial sector. A
Mobile network is a set of mobile telecommunications, Mobile
Ad-hoc Network (MANET) of wireless mobile nodes which
are infrastructure-less network consisting of numbers of mobile
hosts communication with one another through multiple hop
wireless links. MANETs are self-organizing, self-configuring
and dynamic topology network making them convenient for
combat, medical and other emergency situations.

I.5. CROSS LAYER DESIGN

The MANETSs routing protocol finds routes between

nodes and then allows data packets to be forwarded through
other network nodes towards the final destination [2].

In Ad-Hoc network, each and every node communicates

with each other through the OSI layer. But the defect of this
reference protocol architecture is that adjacent layers only can
communicate with each other and every layer has its own

Reliability Value. Battery power and trust value of
individual nodes are used to find the reliable path. This
approach forms a reliable route for transmission thus
increasing network lifetime and decreasing number of packet
loss during transmission. This paper has considered trust value
of each node and energy capacity (Battery capacity) as fuzzy
parameters.
Cherine Fathy et al. [9] proposed a fuzzy based adaptive
cross layer routing protocol that enables each mobile node to
switch between reactive routing mode and proactive routing
mode depending on the current node status. Fuzzy -based
routing mode selector whose inputs are the number of link
breaks, the interface queue length and the type of application
for each node. The advantage of this protocol is improved
packet delivery ratio, route-discovery latency and average
discovery path length.
Masaki Bandai et al. [10] proposed a Medium Access
Control (MAC) protocol with transmission power and rate
control in multi-rate Ad-Hoc networks. This protocol realizes
high energy efficient data transmission. In the protocol, each
node prepares a table that includes energy efficiency in all
combinations of transmission power and rate. Exchanging of
control frames, looking up the transmission power and rate
table and relay transmission sequences are used arbitrarily. The
relay sequence is adopted instead of direct transmission when
relay transmission by intermediate node between sender and
receiver is more effective in terms of power consumption. The
advantage of this approach is that it can realize high energy
efficient data transmission via computer simulations.

information which cannot be accessed by other layers. Crosslayer design [4] is the protocol design which is mainly used to
remove the dependency between layers .Cross layer is the
interface that is used for sharing information between layers. It
is mainly used to enhance the performance of a system. In this
paper, we have used shared database design of the cross layer.

Siddesh Gundagatti Karibasappa et al. [5] proposed neuro
fuzzy based routing protocol. They have utilized the soft
computing techniques such as Neural Nets, Fuzzy Logic and
genetic Algorithms to derive accurate routing information from
mobile Ad-Hoc networks to achieve this efficient protocol. To
solve the objective function and establish a route within the
shortest possible time the combination of these powerful
techniques are used. This protocol has used feed forward
artificial neural network to achieve best performance in
routing.
M.Niazi Torshiz et al. [6] proposed to incorporate the fuzzy
concept with AODV routing algorithm and have considered
power consumption. This fuzzy logic based routing algorithm
monitors the routes and tries to select the optimal route based
on minimum bandwidth and hop count of each route. It also
has tried to balance the traffic load inside the network so as to
increase the battery lifetime of the nodes and hence the overall
useful life of the ad hoc network. In this paper, the fuzzy input
variables are chosen to be minimum bandwidth, battery life
and hop-count.
Zuo Jing et al. [7] proposed a multi constrained QoS
routing protocol based on fuzzy logic. The protocol is service
aware and developed based on DSR. It has considered the QoS
requirements asked by different kinds of services and takes
different network state parameters as the constraint conditions.
They proposed new route informing mechanism to s upport
route update; and have adjusted the speed of packet in terms of
the output of fuzzy system; also they have optimized routing
algorithm for real time traffic to assure that data are always
transmitted through the route with the lowest delay. In this
proposal, the fuzzy system consists of three subsystems.
Therefore multiple metrics have been considered as fuzzy
inputs. The fuzzy inputs used are number of hops, bandwidth,
mobile speed and buffer occupancy rate.
Golnoosh Ghalavani et al. [8] proposed a reliable routing
protocol for MANET based on fuzzy logic. The proposed
work is known as RRAF and it finds reliable path for the
transmission of data. In their work, during route discovery,
node with maximum trust value and maximum energy
capacity is selected as a router based on a parameter called

III. FUZZY BASED CROSS LAYER ROUT ING AND T RANSMISSION

RAT E DET ERMINAT ION

In this paper, we propose cross layer based routing in

MANET using fuzzy logic. In this technique, two fuzzy
systems are used for efficient transmission. The fuzzy logic
system 1 (FLS1) is responsible for best path selection and the
fuzzy logic system 2 (FLS2) is responsible for transmission
rate determination. In FLS1, through the route discovery
mechanism the input parameters such as the path stability and
bandwidth are obtained at the source. These inputs are
fuzzified and the optimal path for data transmission is
identified. In FLS2, the end to end delay and packet loss ratio
are obtained as the input values at the destination. These inputs
are fuzzified and the state of the transmission rate is estimated.
Thus, this prevents the path from congestion.

III.1.1. EST IMAT ION OF BANDWIDT H

Any node that wants to transmit data should be aware of its
local bandwidth and its neighboring nodes information within
the inference range. The node pays attention to the channel and
estimates local bandwidth (BW L ) as the bandwidth is shared
among neighboring nodes. The ratio of idle and busy time
period for a predefined interval affects the local bandwidth

Where C= Channel capacity and Ti = Idle time period in the
predefined time period T tp.
The minimum bandwidth (BW mn ) of all the nodes within the
interference range is calculated as the result of prior collection
of neighboring node information. Thus, the difference between
BW mn and BW l gives the residual bandwidth (BW r) of the
node:
BW r = BW l - BW mn

The expected transmission time (ET) is defined as the
expected time to successfully transmit a data packet at the
MAC layer for a single link. ET can be obtained by adding all
the ET values of the individual links in the route:

The end to end delay consists of all possible delay such as

buffering caused during routing discovery latency, queuing at
the interface queue, retransmission delay at the MAC,
propagation and transmission time.
Thus, the end to end delay is defined as the time taken for
transmission of the data from source to destination [14] which
is given by the following equation:

Where Trx = reception time and Ttx = transmission time.

The packet loss ratio can be defined as the number of data

packets that are not effectively transmitted to the destination

The proposed techniques involve the selection of optimal

This is described in the following two phases of fuzzy logic

bandwidth, path stability and residual energy. This

optimal path is used for data transmission.
10) The path that is available in the route cache is
considered for data transmission.

Fuzzy Logic System 1 (FLS1): Optimal Path

Selection.
Fuzzy Logic System 2 (FLS2): Optimal Rate
determination.
The fuzzy logic is chosen due to the following two reasons:
a) There is no clear boundary between normal and
abnormal events.
b) The fuzzy rules should level the normality and
abnormality separation.
The mechanism of the proposed technique is described in the
following section sequentially.

III.2.1.1. FUZZY LOGIC SYST EM 1 (FLS1)

The Fuzzy logic System 1 involves the selection of the
optimal path. The optimal path is selected by considering the
three inputs such as bandwidth, path stability and residual
energy. The three inputs are fuzzified to obtain the appropriate
optimal path.
Fuzzification:
It involves the fuzzification of the input variables - BW r, PS and
Eres . Crisp inputs are taken from these variables and these
inputs are given a degree to appropriate fuzzy sets. The
combination of BW r , PS and Eres are the crisp inputs. We
consider the three possibilities - high, medium and low for BW r,
PS and Eres .
The fig. 1, 2 and 3 shows the membership function for the
input and output variables. The triangulation function which is
widely used in real-time applications owing to their
computational efficiency and uncomplicated formulas are used.
In Table II, BW r, PS and Eres are given as input and the output
is the optimal path (OP) for data transmission. The fifteen
fuzzy sets are defined with the combination presented in Table
II.

III.2.1. A LGORIT HM FOR OPT IMAL PAT H SELECT ION

The steps involved in the selection of the optimal path are
as following:
1) When source (S) wants to transmit a data packet to
destination (D) , it verifies its route cache for path
availability:
If path exists
Then
Go to step10
Else
Go to step 2
End if
2) S broadcasts route request (RREQ) packet towards the
D through intermediate nodes (Ni).
3) Ni upon receiving the RREQ updates the route cache
(shown in Table 1) about the source, destination,
previous hop node, battery power, link quality and
available bandwidth.
4) Ni then either re-broadcasts the RREQ to its
neighbors or sends the route reply (RREP) if the node
is D. This process is repeated till RREQ reaches D.
5) When D receives RREQ, for the every received
RREQ the RREP packet is unicast in the reverse path
towards the source.
6) Every Ni that receives RREP updates its cache for the
next hop of the RREP and then unicasts this RREP in
the reverse-path using the earlier stored previous hop
node information.
7) Step 6 is being repeated until RREP reaches S.
8) S then computes bandwidth, path stability and
residual energy (Estimates in section III.1.1, III.1.2
and III.1.3) based on collected information from
RREP.
9) The values calculated in step8 by S are considered as
the inputs to the fuzzy logic system. Based on the
result, S selects an optimal path that has high

Defuzzification:
It is the technique by which a crisp values are extracted
from a fuzzy set as a representation value is referred to as
defuzzification.
The centroid of area is taken into consideration for
defuzzification during fuzzy decision making process. The
following equation describes the defuzzifier method:
F_Cost = [

(zi )]

(10)

Where,
F_Cost = specify the degree of decision making.
zi = fuzzy rules and variables.

Fig.2. Member function for Path Stability

(zi ) = membership function.

As per the defuzzification method, the output of the fuzzy cost
function is modified to crisp value.
Thus, the optimal path chosen is used for data transmis sion
from source to destination.
III.2.1.2. FUZZY LOGIC SYST EM 2 (FLS2)
Source proceeds with the transmission of data to
destination through the selected optimal path (Described in
section III.2.1.1). At the receiver side at this moment, the
destination node computes the parameter such as end-to-end
delay (Dee) and packet loss ratio (PLR) (explained in section
III.1.4 and III.1.5). It applies the inputs to FLS2 in order to
estimate the state of transmission rate.
Fuzzification:
This involves fuzzification of input variables such as Dee and
PLR. Crisp inputs are taken from these variables and these
inputs are given a degree to appropriate fuzzy sets. The crisp
inputs are combination of Dee and PLR. We consider three
possibilities - high, medium, and low for Dee and PLR.
The Figs. 4, 5, and 6 shows the membership function for
the input and output variables. This utilizes the triangulation
functions as they are widely used in real-time applications
owing to their computational efficiency and uncomplicated
formulas.

The Table IV includes the energy efficiency of all

combinations of transmission power and transmission rate.
This table consists of many columns like power (P), rate (R),
power gap () and energy ratio (). In this approach, the
number of neighbor nodes, (Request-to-send) RTS collision
probability and bit error rate has to be obtained very carefully.
By using the specification of the network card, the transmission

prepared. Hence there is no need to calculate any parameters

Let P0, P1Pn-1 (P0 > P1 > >Pn-1) dBm be the levels of
transmission power available. The maximum transmission
power P0 is defined as base transmission power. Let m be the
levels of data rate available which are R0, R1Rn-1 (R0 < R1
< < Rn-1) Mbps. The lowest data rate R0 is defined as base
transmission rate. This energy efficiency ratio ( (Pi, Rj)) as
follows:

The Table III demonstrates the designed fuzzy inference

system.
For example
Let us consider Rule 9.
If Dee is high and PLR is high
Then
The state of transmission rate of the source is very low
End if.
Similar to section III.2.1.1, the obtained output value is
defuzzified. We can obtain the state of transmission rate as an
outcome of fuzzy decision. Thus the current transmission rate
of the source is adjusted by comparing the output of FLS2
with initial transmission rate of path. This prevents the
congestion.

(11)

Here E (Pi ,Rj ) is the energy consumption when transmission

power Pi and rate Rj are adapted.
The required power gap to receive a data (Pi,Rj) dBm is
defined as given below:
(Pi,Rj)= (Pi,Rj)- (P0 ,R0 )
(12)
Here
dBm is the required power to receive a data
(Pi,Rj) and (Pi,Rj) is calculated by the specification of
network card. The transmission power and rate table for Cisco
Aironet 350 is as given in the Table IV. The card has four level
of transmission power like P0 =14.77, P1 =13.01, P2=6.99 and
P3 =0 dBm. Also four level of transmission rate which are
R0 =1, R1 =2, R2 =5.5 and R3 =11 Mb/s. In Table IV, there are 16
combinations of transmission power and rate.

Example: If P0 =14.77 dBm and R3 =11 Mb/s are selected, then
the energy consumption is 0.105 times as that of the base
transmission power and rate. The required power at a receiver
is 9.00 dBm larger than that of base transmission power and
rate. The node will calculate the received power when the node
receives a control frame such as RTS.
Let p dBm be the received power of the RTS.
The power gap is given by p- (P0 , R0), hence the combination
satisfying (Pi,Rj) < p-(P0,R0) is selected from the table.

V. CONCLUSION
In this paper, we have proposed a fuzzy based cross layer
routing in MANET in which the system comprises of two
fuzzy system namely fuzzy logic system 1 (FLS1) and fuzzy
logic system 2 (FLS2).
