Network Coding-based AOMDV routing in MANET

Abstract

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless network that can be formed without the need for any pre-existing infrastructure in which each node can act as a router. Due to bandwidth constraint and dynamic topology of mobile ad hoc networks, multipath supported routing is a very important research issue. This paper proposes a Network Coding-based AOMDV routing algorithm in MANET (NC-AOMDV). It is typically proposed in order to increase the reliability of data transmission or to provide load balancing. In our simulation, we compare NC-AOMDV routing protocol with AODVM routing protocol, in terms of the packet delivery ratio, packet overhead, and average end-to-end delay when a packet is transmitted. The simulation results show that the NC-AOMDV routing protocol provide an accurate and efficient method of estimating and evaluating the route stability in dynamic MANETs.
