Studies on novel routing algorithms for mobile ad hoc network

Abstract

Ad hoc networks are gaining increasing popularity in recent years newlinebecause of their ease of deployment No wired base station or infrastructure is newlinesupported and each host communicates to one another via packet radios In newlinead hoc networks routing protocols are challenged with establishing and newlinemaintaining multihop routes in the face of mobility bandwidth limitation and newlinepower constraints newlineThis thesis presents some studies and investigations conducted on newlinethe routing algorithms of both unicast and multicast communication in Mobile newlineAd hoc Network The existing routing algorithms are uniquely classified and newlinetheir routing characteristics are compared based on some key parameters In newlineaddition to unicast and muticast routing algorithms investigations on newlinemultipath routing protocols are also made The simulation performances of newlinethe existing multipath routing algorithms are compared newline newline
