ABSTRACT

Mobile Adhoc Networks are used in various areas each of which has its own set of requirements. In this paper we concentrate on application areas which require fast data delivery, less delay and high availability of the network. Fast delivery and less delay concepts are related to the relative position and status of nodes (links) while network availability is a direct cost of overall network lifetime. Our focus here is on developing a network layer strategy, i.e. one that uses routing protocols. For MANET, in some applications packets become useless as a result of delay and distance between nodes. Hence it is required to design Efficient-Path selection scheme using optimized on-demand Multipath routing protocol with goals of improving throughput, delay and data delivery. With this our new approach we are going to evaluate the performance of our protocol against the traditional AOMDV. The practical simulation is done using NS2 network simulator.
