Abstract

An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that wish to communicate without any fixed infrastructure or centralized control. It is a self-configuring network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links the union of which forms an arbitrary topology. Therefore, routing in MANET is a critical task due to highly dynamic environment. Several protocols are introduced for improving the routing mechanism to find route between any source and destination host across the network. This paper focuses on the three popular routing algorithms Cluster Based Routing Protocol (CBRP), a hybrid routing protocol, Ad-Hoc on Demand Distance Vector Protocol (AODV), reactive routing protocol and Destination Sequence Distance Vector Routing Protocol (DSDV), Pro-active routing protocol. This paper provides an overview of these protocols by presenting their characteristics, functionality, benefits and limitations.
