Abstract
A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less but capable of self configuring network that contains wide range of wireless devices that can move freely in any direction and each device can act as a router or end host. The Mobile Ad Hoc network is too big and the communicating nodes can be out of range. So, each node in MANET can act as router and forward the data to neighbour and the data reach the destination. The relay traffic consumes the resources and power. But, the power and the resources are very limited, so each node needs to conserve them for its own purpose. The presence of selfish nodes may affect Quality of Service (QoS) especially reliability and data transmission. A demand arises to detect the selfish nodes and neglect them to improve the quality of service of a MANET. In this study, an improved AODV algorithm is proposed to detect the selfish nodes and a new routing mechanism is proposed for traffic relay. The proposed algorithms are simulated and they showed better quality of service by enhancing packet delivery ratio and reducing packet delay.
