Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-configuring and variable size networks of independent mobile nodes. These networks do not have centralized management and the network topology keeps on changing due to frequent movement of nodes. Many routing protocols have been proposed to deal with routing in MANETs. Each routing protocol is designed with a unique feature to deal with challenges of routing in MANETs. In this paper, we have put together all the design patterns of ad hoc routing protocols. This work is useful to understand and analyze the design patterns of ad hoc routing protocols. This work also can be useful to design new routing protocols in MANETs.
