In this paper, we propose a new method to improve tile processing of route recovery of the existing DSR algorithm on detection of route error. In mobile ad hoc networks, mobile nodes themselves have routing capability. Thus, a well-defined routing protocol is required for route set-up between two mobile nodes. However, the existing DSR routing protocol has problem with dropping of packets due to the recovery delay when a route error occurs. In order to alleviate tile problem, we propose an enhanced DSR protocol to reduce the route error recovery tine and evaluate the protocol through simulation. As tile result of evaluation, we found the proposed DSR protocol provided about 4 to 30 times faster route error recovery time according to the test scenario than the existing DSR protocol.

The PULSE protocol can greatly reduce power consumption using a node's sleep state. But this protocol does not consider movement of a sink node in a sensor network. In the mobile sensor network a routing protocol must recover path error by movement of a sink node as quickly as possible. Therefore we have to achieve fast path recovery and power saving to support movement of a sink node in a sensor network. This paper proposes the Mobile PULSE protocol which is a improved routing protocol for a mobile sink node. And we evaluate Mobile PULSE and show that the Mobile PULSE reduces the recovery time about 40% compared with original PULSE protocol. Mobile PULSE increases energy consumption than PULSE as a maximum of 0.8%, which means Mobile PULSE is similar to PULSE in energy consumption. This paper shows mobile PULSE's capability in the mobile sensor network through evaluation of path recovery time and power consumption.
