MANET Routing Protocols
,Main
Characteristics of MANET
–Multi-hop
to the destination
–Dynamic
topology due to node mobility, interference, …..
–Resource
restrain: wireless bandwidth, battery…
Key Challenge: routing overhead vs. accuracy of network knowledge
,Usual
Approach of Existing Routing Protocols
–Static
and global/universal routing parameters, to be set “appropriately”
–For
example: Hello Interval, Timeout Values, Thresholds for # Missed Packets
