Naman Patel, Akshay Pawar, Narendra Shekokar . A Survey on Routing Protocols for MANET. International Journal of Computer Applications. 110, 11 ( January 2015), 5-7. DOI=10.5120/19358-0834
MANETs or the Mobile Ad hoc Networks are a type of computer networks that have mobile devices, self-configured functioning, no static infrastructure and a wireless medium of information sharing. Rapid increase in demand for cellular phones and laptops that use MANETs has been encouraging extensive research in various optimized routing protocols for MANETs during the past decade. The need for better speed and efficiency in these mobile devices keeps rising every year and the resulting demand for further protocol optimization is seen. The basis of the review is to study all the protocols that have been proposed.
