Fresh-shortst path routing prtocol for mobile ad-hoc networks

Abstract

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are a key component of the ongoing evolution of wireless networks. They are infrastructure-less networks and are characterized by connectivity through a collection of wireless nodes and fast changing topology. Due to network topology changes, packet (or message) routing in MANETs is a significant and challenging research area. The routing protocol should offer an efficient path between source and destination nodes and maintain it.
