Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MAN) consists of mobile nodes, which are free to move around arbitrarily. These mobile nodes incorporate routing functionality, due to which a backbone network is no longer essential. The ad hoc topology may change with time as the nodes move or adjust their transmission and reception parameters. A MAN is an autonomous system, which may have gateways to a fixed network. This paper studies the performance of some routing protocols, developed for MAN networks, namely ad-hoc on demand distance vector, dynamic source routing, destination-sequenced distance vector and temporally-ordered routing algorithm. Finally their application in a cellular environment is discussed and a hybrid system applying both MAN and cellular access is proposed
