Abstract :
Greedy routing protocols provide a scalable and cost effective solution for routing packets in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). However, such routing protocols can not be used in the networks where holes exist. We propose a virtual ring-based hole avoiding routing protocol (VRHAR) in MANETs where holes exist. Simulation studies show that the proposed protocol can improve the routing performance more effectively than existing greedy routing protocols.
