An Optimized Ad-hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector(AOMDV) Routing Protocol

To avoid frequent route discovery, various multipath routing protocol has been proposed based on the existing single path routing protocol in ad hoc networks. Ad hoc on-demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV) is one of extensions to the well-studied ad hoc on distance vector (AODV). In this paper an optimized AOMDV (OAOMDV) is presented to solve the "route cutoff" problem in AOMDV. The proposed protocol adds a new scheme into AOMDV and simulation results show the performance improvement
