ABSTRACT: The characteristics of nodes moving
arbitrarily and the network topology changing frequently lead to AODV routing protocol,
which uses minimum hop-count
as the metric for route selection, facing intermittent connectivity frequently
which would cause QoS of network degradation in Ad Hoc Network. In this paper,
we integrate three cross layer infor-mation which consists of the
remaining energy of nodes, the remaining queue length and the hop-count from
source node to destination node. Then we present the GRA-AODV routing protocol
based on the gray relevance algorithm. By comparing the simulation and
experimental results, in the case of slightly increase in routing overhead, the
improved Gray Relevance Algorithm-AODV routing possesses lower average end to
end delay and lower packet loss rate, and it has superior robustness in the
mobile Ad Hoc Network with network topology changing frequently.
