Multipath AODV extension with CORE-node using path accumulation

Abstract

The ad-hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes without any support of a stationary infrastructure. Due to the node's mobility and the network topology changes to be kinetic, the network disconnection occur frequently. This paper proposes a variation of the AODV protocol, which selects CORE nodes using path's accumulation information, and then establishes multi paths based on CORE-node's information. When network is disconnected, our proposed protocol saves path reset time and reduces the reset control messages by using the information held by the CORE-node. © 2012 IEEE.
