Adaptive Multi-mode Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Mobile ad hoc networks are wireless multi-hop networks with a completely distributed organization. The dynamic nature of these networks imposes many challenges on mobile ad hoc routing protocols. Current routing protocols do not take into the account the network context and therefore their performance is only optimal under certain network conditions. This paper proposes a novel concept for routing in mobile ad hoc networks, adaptive multi-mode routing, and demonstrates its feasibility and effectiveness.
