Survey on Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols
Lathigara AmitMaheshbhai, Kalpesh H. Wandra · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2014
Mobile Adhoc Network is described as a network having no physical connections among nodes.Due to nodes mobility, interference, multipath propagation and path loss, MANET is not having any fixed topology.Many routing protocols have been proposed to overcome these characteristics.The purpose of this review paper is to study an existing proactive and reactive routing protocols of MANET depending on their table-driven and on-demand nature respectively.This review paper highlights a summary of these protocols with their functionality, characteristics, benefits and shortcomings along with its performance analysis.Main impartial of this review paper is to make available exploration about enhancement of these existing protocols.
