A new adaptive routing scheme based on the traffic characteristics in mobile ad hoc networks

We consider an ad hoc network that can form a flat or a hierarchical architecture. Basically all the mobile nodes form a flat network and some mobile nodes are able to be cluster heads, making mobility management easy. We define routing path establishment cost from a source node to a destination node and show the numerical results as the total number of mobile nodes increase in each ad hoc architecture. Through simulation we propose a new adaptive routing scheme based on the traffic characteristics in mobile ad hoc networks.
