Abstract

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), packets are forwarded by a series of nodes to the desired destination. Previously, we have studied the network connectivity of MANETs. In this paper, we study the reliability of an established route between a source to a destination. The route is considered reliable only when all links in the route remain connected for packet relaying. We analyze the link reliability under the condition that the forwarding nodes are mobile. With this analysis, we derive the time period that the established route remains reliable for packet forwarding. Simulation is conducted to validate our analysis.
