Abstract

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network is a kind of mobile wireless network in which every mobile node participates in routing operation. Such networks which use multi hop routing mechanism as the nodes may be out of their transmission range and may depend on each other for forwarding the packets to the destination. In this paper, we propose the problems that lead to link breakage in Most Forward Routing (MFR) protocol and also a new routing protocol for reducing the probability of link breakage. Our experimental results show that by using this protocol, the number of nodes which participate in routing operation, the number of exchanged messages and also the average time of route discovery will be reduced.
