Mobile Ad hoc Networks- A Review of Routing Protocols
Keywords:
Mobile Ad hoc Networks, Routing Protocols, MANETsAbstract
Recently MANETs (Mobile Ad hoc Networks) generated tremendous interest among the research community due to their infrastructure less requirements and dynamic nature. Also due to its diverse applications for areas like disaster recovery, there is a lot of potential yet to be explored in MANETs in time to come. MANETs rely on TCP/IP network stack and due to its mobility nature, routing, and security become an important challenging area. In this article, we present our contribution by studying various routing protocols categories available for MANETs and discuss their features, limitations, and challenges which could restrict these routing protocols to a certain extent.
