A Survey On Mobility and QoS related routing protocols in Mobile ad hoc Networks

Abstract

Abstract: Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is not only wireless but also infrastructure less networks.In MANET data routed
through the nodes. Each intermediate node acts as a router Therefore,It is difficult to predict the future location or network
topology of nodes. In anycast routing multiple instances share the same IP address.From multiple instances,packet routed to
the nearest instance. Anycast communication is simple.It has minimum communication overhead because packet sent to the
nearest neighbour,therefore,it saves power,network bandwidth and message collision during message transmission.Due to
host movement and changes in network topology stability and QoS of nodes is an important issue in MANET.Many routing
protocols have been proposed for stability and improving QoS of nodes.This paper presents some of the latest mobility and
QoS-aware routing protocols in MANET which gives adaptability,reliable and efficient routes and also takes care of QoS
parameter of a network.
