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
