Routing protocols in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks: An overview

MANETs can manage without fixed infrastructure and can stay active rapid changes in the network topology. The primary challenge in building a MANET is equipping each device to continuously maintain the information required to appropriately route traffic. Routing with Scalable and robustness performance is one of the key challenges in deploying Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks. In this paper, we deliberate on different routing protocols which are widely used in MANETs. In order to operate the Ad-Hoc Networks as efficiently as possible, appropriate on-demand routing protocols have to be incorporated, to find effective routes between source and destination. This paper primarily concentrates to study the various performance metrics like such as, data packet delivery fraction, end to end delay and control packet etc. of the routing protocols. In particular, position-based routing protocols can route messages more efficiently to their destinations based on the destination node position, which is provided by a location service. As LAR, important performance matrices of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks can be improved.
