Routing Algorithm in MANET
Simar Preet Singh, Barinderpal Singh · 2014
A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network is a collection of wireless nodes forming a temporary network without using any centralized access point, infrastructure, or centralized administration. MANETs are generating lots of interest due to the dynamic topology and decentralized administration. There are different aspects which are taken for research like routing, synchronization, power consumption, bandwidth considerations etc. This paper concentrates on routing algorithm which is the most challenging issue due to the dynamic topology of the ad hoc network. Routing is an important issue in a mobile ad hoc network because it is infrastructure less. In a mobile ad hoc network a node acts both as host and router. There are different routing algorithms proposed for MANETs which makes it quite difficult to determine which protocol is suitable for different network conditions are proposed by their quality of service offerings. In this paper a survey of routing algorithm is made.
