ROUTING IN MULTI-HOP AD HOC NETWORKS AND SIMULATION USING OPNET MODELER

Abstract

A multi-hop mobile Ad-Hoc Network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized administration or standards support services. In such an environment, it is possible for each mobile node to act both as host and as router. Such a Network is also both kinetic and dynamic in nature. Routing protocols for an Ad Hoc network must also deal with the resources limitations of mobile nodes like low energy, low bandwidth and high error rates
