In this paper we present a MANET proactive routing enhancement scheme by comprehensive evaluation of multiple dynamic routing metrics, including delay, energy cost, and link stability. We developed efficient routing metric prediction methods: predicting delay and energy using double exponential smoothing, and predicting link stability using a heuristic based on the normal-like distributions of the link lifetimes in typical MANET mobility scenarios. The routing metrics predictions are incorporated with regular routing information exchanges. On each node, routing table is constructed by a modified version of Dijkstra?s algorithm, which evaluates the predicted metrics values compositively. We integrated such a multi-metric prediction/evaluation mechanism into OLSR and name it OLSR_MC. We show by simulation that OLSR_MC is more adaptive to the network dynamics and therefore is able to improve performance significantly on multiple routing objectives, including higher packet delivery ratio, shorter average end-to-end delay, and prolonged network energy lifetime.
