Abstract: Link stability is a challenging aspect while configuring a routing protocol for dynamically changing topology of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET). The frequent mobility of the nodes causes partitioning the network, path lost and dropping of transmitted packets. In order to achieve reliable and stable link, Link Stability Decision Based Routing Protocol (LSBR) which addresses link quality of intermediate mobile nodes in the MANET is proposed. The parameters like residual energy and SNR of the individual nodes are considered to estimate the stability of the route while transmission of data packets by Hidden Markov Model (HMM). This prediction model is associated with Congestion and Energy Aware routing protocol (CAERP) for improving the link stability as well as energy delay trade off in the MANET. This proposed LSBR protocol compared with existing DSR based routing protocols and this protocol provides better performance metrics in a optimal way.
