HAODV: a New Routing Protocol to Support Interoperability in Heterogeneous MANET

In today's MANET, nodes can be equipped with one or more wireless communications interfaces that support different wireless technologies such as WIFI IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth. Each technology implements distinct hardware and logical specifications. Current AODV routing protocol becomes inefficient when used in a network formed of heterogeneous devices. Indeed AODV in its nature search the paths between homogeneous devices and ignore the ones between heterogeneous devices. In this paper, we propose a heterogeneous AODV protocol that interoperates between WIFI and Bluetooth technologies in a single MANET. The extended algorithm takes into consideration several factors when building the routes such as network stability, traffic, conversion rate; in addition to the shortest path.
