Fault tolerant reliable multipath routing protocol for ad hoc network

Abstract

The Ad-hoc networks are one of the most demanding networks now a day in every field of operation likes military operation, natural disaster management. But this network has some limitation like it does not have the fixe topology during the communication, also does not have fixed number of nodes. Even they (nodes) run with limited power most the time. The communication is wireless network is all the time vulnerable under different threats. Therefore the reliability of this network is always come in picture and has been addressed by many researchers. In this paper we propose a new routing technique called as Leaf Routing, which uses multipath routing with restricted flooding to enhance the reliability during transfer of packets. © 2012 IEEE.
