Review of Mobile Ad Hoc Network Protocols

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 2

Abstract

 bstract: Mobile Ad-hoc Network is one of the types of Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks which has distinguishedcharacteristics. It is a self-configuring, decentralized and infrastructure less wireless network where mobilenodes in such a network communicate with each other through wireless links. Since the nodes can move around,routing in such a setup is always a challenge. To overcome this challenge of routing as a prerequisite tonetwork communication, the Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) routing protocols must establish an efficientroute between network nodes. It should also be able to adjust efficiently to the frequently varying topology ofmoving nodes. In this paper, the main characteristics and the research challenge of routing in MANET, whichmay be considered in designing various routing protocols were discussed. Various MANET protocols surveyed and their classification; proactive, reactive and hybrid discussed. The review also present the strength andweaknesses of some specific protocols, discuss the various extensions made to the major protocols byresearchers in this field and itemized out areas of future research work.
