An Efficient Approach towards Robust Routing in MANET.

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are characterize by time-varying nature of the links and network topology. There are transmission impediments like fading, path loss, blockage and interference that add to the inclined behavior of wireless channels. In such an environment, the network must accommodate the changes, providing end-end packet delivery while at the same time incurring low control overhead. This paper proposes an improvement over the existing routing algorithm for MANETs with the primary goal of maximize connectivity while limiting operating cost by finding those routes which can stay intact for a period of time.
