A review over MANET- Issues and Challenges
Nitin Goyal, Alka Gaba · 2013
Abstract: Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) is an assortment of mobile node where the nodes move randomly and coupled by wireless link. MANET is a self organized as well as self configured network. The major application areas where MANET is used are military purpose, battlefield operation, urgent business meeting, personal area network, disaster relief operations etc. Routing in MANET is serious issue because network topology which is changeable due to nodes mobility. Routing algorithms uses specific metrics to determine the optimum path between senders and receivers such as shortest minimum cost, minimum total power transmission and min-max power cost etc. Many routing protocols have been purposed in last few years. This paper provides a universal thought of routing protocols and also brief indication over “Location Based Routing Protocols”.
