Abstract :
An ad hoc network is composed of nodes that may move arbitrarily and without the support of a stationary infrastructure. The dynamic nature of ad hoc networks makes it very challenging to realize routing and deliver data packets efficiently. This article discusses the challenges of ad hoc network routing, surveys existing routing algorithms, and provides a comparison of these algorithms.
