Abstract / Description of output
We develop an on-demand, multipath distance vector routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. Specifically, we
propose multipath extensions to a well-studied single path routing protocol known as ad hoc on-demand distance
vector (AODV). The resulting protocol is referred to as ad hoc on-demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV). The
protocol guarantees loop freedom and disjointness of alternate paths. Performance comparison of AOMDV with
AODV using ns-2 simulations shows that AOMDV is able to effectively cope with mobility-induced route failures.
In particular, it reduces the packet loss by up to 40% and achieves a remarkable improvement in the end-to-end
delay (often more than a factor of two). AOMDV also reduces routing overhead by about 30% by reducing the
frequency of route discovery operations.
