Variants of AODV Routing Protocol : A Review
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing, Route Request, Route Reply.
In recent years mobile ad hoc networks have become very popular and lots of research are being done on different aspects of MANET. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), is a self configuring network of mobile devices (laptops, sensors, etc.) without centralized infrastructure (access points, bridges, etc.) and predetermined topology. Different aspects taken for research are routing, synchronization, power consumption, bandwidth considerations etc. The routing technique is the most challenging issue. There are various strategies proposed for efficient routing which claimed to provide better performance and different routing protocols which makes it quite difficult to determine which protocol is suitable for different network conditions .This paper provides an overview of variants of AODV routing protocol.
