CM-AODV: An Efficient Usage of Network Bandwidth in AODV Protocol

Wireless communication is one among the vast areas of development. The communication networks are evolved from fixed infrastructure to non-infrastructure wireless communications. AODV is one of such protocol which deals with 'Route Discovery and Route Maintenance' are used to determine and maintain routes to subjective destination. All Ad-Hoc routing protocols deal with different routing factors like end-to-end delay and traffic overhead, packet delivery ratio. The idea proposed emphasizes the enhancement of Cooperative Multicast Ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (CM-AODV) Routing protocol. The technique includes controlling the bandwidth utilized by Hello packets in Ad-Hoc wireless networks by reducing the periodic table updation required in the table driven approach. The route request packet is flooded to establish the route.
