Analysis of Multipath Routing Protocol For Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Evaluating the Efficiency and Reliability of Multipath Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

A fundamental problem inad hoc networking is how to deliver data packets among nodes efficientlywithout predetermined topology or centralized control, which is the mainobjective of ad hoc routing protocols. Each node in the network functions asboth a host and a router, and changes of network topology are distributed amongthe nodes. Design of efficient and reliable routing protocols in such a networkis a challenging issue. This paper analyzes multipath routing protocol forMobile Ad Hoc Networks.
