ABSTRACT:
In a mobile ad hoc network, where nodes are deployed without any wired infrastructure and communicate via multihop wireless links, the network topology is based on the nodes' locations and transmission ranges. The network topology can have a major impact on network performance. This research aims to study the performance of dynamic network topologies which can be divided into two directions. Firstly, the minimum number of neighbour nodes for good routing performance is analyzed when the source node is passively configured to obtain multiple routes to a destination. Specifically, how neighbour node placement affects the network overhead and routing delay. Secondly, a neighbour based multipath routing protocol is proposed such that the source node is actively obtained multipath to destination through well arranged neighbours. The proposed protocol considered the overhead induced by acquiring multiple paths to a destination.
