Node-Disjoint On-demand Multipath Routing with Route Utilization in Ad-Hoc Networks
Mona Gupta, Neeraj Kumar · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2013
Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless network without any pre-existing infrastructure and each node therefore operate in a self-organized and decentralized manner, acting as a router.Multipath routing in MANETis a challenging problem.In this paper, an attempt has been made to compare the accomplishment of conspicuous ondemand routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks.There are many routing protocols such as ad hoc on demand distance vector routing (AODV), ad hoc on demand multipath distance vector protocol (AOMDV) that have been used.The constant change in network topology and the inherently unreliable available paths make the multipath routing difficult.The paper presents the nodedisjoint multipath routing protocol that allows the establishment of multiple paths between the unique source and destination and thus improving end-to-end delay, routing overhead and packet delivery ratio.The path selection algorithm for MANET embraces the entropy metric in order to find the stability of route and obtain an optimum path.
