An ad hoc on-demand routing protocol with high packet delivery fraction

Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a system of wireless mobile nodes dynamically self-organizing in arbitrary and temporary network topologies. Frequent topology changes caused by node mobility make the raising of the packet delivery fraction in MANET a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a scheme to improve packet delivery fraction of the ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) protocol and compare it with the performance of several routing protocols. A variety of scenarios using a variety of pause time and size of the ad hoc network were simulated.
