Mobile Ad Hoc Network: Features and Routing Protocols

  • Monika

Abstract

A Mobile Ad hoc Network is an open Ad hoc network in which a node can dynamically move in the network. These mobile nodes serve both as hosts as well as routers for directing data to and fro amongst various nodes in the network. Routing in MANET is the fundamental aspect to be considered while establishing any communication path in a network. Hence forth, design and selection of an efficient routing protocol is necessary to ensure a specific path amid source and destination with minimum routing overhead and bandwidth consumption. In this paper, various routing protocols along with their characteristics features are studied.
