A novel ad hoc routing protocol research based on mobility prediction algorithm

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a network that every node processes packet routing without infrastructure. The fast equipping and mobile self-organization characters push MANET the hot point in wireless communication research. Based on ad hoc on-demand vector (AODV) routing protocol, this paper provides a novel MAODV routing protocol research based on mobility prediction algorithm. The MAODV controls route discovery, keeping and switch by estimating neighbor node´s distance and predicting neighbor node´s mobility to suit fast changed network topology. Simulator result demonstrates that, compared with original AODV, MAODV could reduce end-to-end delay effectively and enhance the real-time character.
