Abstract / Description of output
Efficient, dynamic routing is one of the key challenges in mobile ad hoc networks. In the recent past, this problem was addressed by many research efforts, resulting in a large body of literature. We survey various proposed approaches for routing in mobile ad hoc networks such as flooding, proactive, on-demand and geographic routing, and review representative protocols from each of these categories. We further conduct qualitative comparisons across various approaches. We also point out future research issues in the context of individual routing approaches as well as from the overall system perspective.
