  Abstract

Many routing algorithms, proposed for ad-hoc wireless networks, are based on source routing scheme and shortest path route has short lifetime especially in highly dense ad-hoc wireless networks. So some routing protocols such as SSA and ABR are considering the link stability and try finding more stable route. In this paper we propose a new routing algorithm considering utilization metric based on SSA routing algorithm in Ad-Hoc networks. To reduce the bottleneck by specific metric of SSA, proposed scheme makes load balancing in networks by distributing the connections to several routes. For the evaluation of the performance we compare our scheme with existent routing protocol AODV and SSA. And the results, obtained using the ns-2 network simulation platform, show good performance that reduced the number of reconstructions remarkably by distributing the whole traffic to several routes when there are several stable routes.
