Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) rely on dynamic routing protocols such as Adhoc on demand distance vector routing (AODV) with Expanding Ring Search (ERS) to reduce energy consumption and broadcast cost of searching. In this paper, we propose an improved routing algorithm, Efficient AODV using Sectorized Antenna (EAODVSA), which uses sectorized antenna to reduce redundant flooding in a high density network and fault tolerant unicasting to improve efficiency of ERS. The proposed algorithm shows expected reduction of up to 50% in the routing overhead during route discovery when applied to a 2D eight neighbor grid regular model.
