Comparison of Routing Protocols in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
V B Narsimha · 2012
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) represent complex distributed systems that comprise wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self organize into arbitrary and temporary ad hoc network topologies. A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of nodes that is con nected through a wireless medium forming rapidly changing topologies. The widely accepted existing routing pr otocols designed to accommodate the needs of such self-organized networks do not address possible threats aiming at the disruption of the protocol itself.
