Routing Strategies In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

A Survey and Analysis of Routing Strategies in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

Due to the inherent limitations and dynamic nature ofmobile ad hoc networks, the routing is different from wired network. To meetthe challenges of MANET, various routing strategies were proposed. This paperpresents a survey of routing strategies employed in MANET and provides a quickreference of researches done in this area. This study gives an opportunity toanalyze these strategies with an objective to achieve an efficient algorithm toovercome the challenges still suffered by MANETs and improve the performance.
