Abstract:
Routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) remains challenging after years of research because the network conditions can vary significantly depending on the actual application scenario. This effect is even increased if the external conditions are not stable but rather change during the operation of the network as for example in disaster scenarios. In such a case, one single routing approach is usually not able to perform well because it was optimized for one parameter set only. Hybrid routing protocols usually combine two approaches for better adaptability to multiple use cases but still require a careful selection of the protocols in question. In adaptive routing concepts, nodes can choose from multiple protocols and thus adapt to the given network conditions seamlessly. In this paper, we present our adaptive routing framework allowing easy integration of multiple protocols and discuss its advantages over hybrid and traditional routing concepts as well as the application to disaster scenarios.
