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.
