A New Approach to MANet Routing Based on Erasure Codes

In this paper, we present a novel approach for mobile ad-hoc routing, which is called AOMDV-CB. The brand-new protocol is an extension of the well-known AOMDV (Ad Hoc on Demand Multi-Path Distance Vector) protocol, holds a potential to drastically increase scalability in both the size and the diameter of the ad hoc network with the advantage of erasure codes. Performance comparison of AOMDV-CB with AOMDV and AODV using ns-2 simulations is given in our paper, results shows that AOMDV-CB is able to achieve a remarkable improvement in the robust and efficiency of ad-hoc network.
