Abstract:
The current protocols used in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks require an end-to-end connected path between source and destination to transmit data. We present a group of protocols (c-protocols) that address the issue of dropping packets each time the end-to-end path breaks. In the c-protocol, rather than being dropped, the packets are allowed to be carried at any node for a time until the carrying node gets connected to another node and retransmits the packets. The simulation shows that the c-protocol allows data to be transmitted and delivered even if the end-to-end connection never occurs. The GPS enabled versions of the c-protocol produced the highest throughput in the simulated network.
