Mobile Ad hoc NETwork is a collection of mobile nodes connected with each other without any centralized infrastructure support. In MANET, every node acts as a router, thereby forwards the packet to other nodes through the best route possible. The cooperation of all other nodes is very essential for a node to transfer data to its desired destination. Throughput is a major factor that determines the health of any network including MANET and there can be many reasons that can disrupt the throughput. In this paper we deal with two prime reasons that may reduce the throughput in a MANET. The first reason is that, if a node behaves selfishly and utilizes the path only for forwarding its own packet, then the packets from other nodes will be dropped and the throughput will gradually get reduced. The second reason for reduction in throughput is the phenomenon called fading, which causes signal attenuation. This phenomenon creates path loss temporarily, during which the packet loss increases and the throughput takes a major hit. Removing such nodes from the network on the basis of doubt about its packet forwarding nature and ability will eventually weaken the network strength. Neglecting the original best route will also reduce the quality of the network. Both the cases of selfishness and fading can be normalized by switching over to an alternate path and coming back to the same route after a short period of time. Thereby the quality as well as the quantity of nodes involved in the network can be maintained. In this paper we have also introduced an innovation called helper nodes which will also help in the formation of alternate path and will very well neutralize the ill effects caused due to selfishness and fading.

MANET is a mobile ad-hoc network that is made of several mobile nodes that can communicate in a multi-way without any fixed or regular infrastructure. Due to its special features such as its self-organization, easy deployment it has been preferred for many military and civil applications. MANET has also gained popularity in the multimedia field. MANET has certain levels of requirements such as QoS (Quality of Service), jitter and energy, bandwidth, and end-2-end delay. MANET’s one of the basic requirements is having QoS and should have efficient routing to support other applications. In this research paper, a special Genetic Algorithm known as the GA algorithm based on routing on a Mobile Ad-hoc network is designed and termed as GAMAN. The proposed model uses a 2 QoS system for routing. The outcome of this paper showed that the GAMAN method is a significant one for QoS in MANET.

Mobile ad hoc network is an assembly of mobile nodes with no centralized server. Due to mobility of nodes and decentralized network it is difficult to maintain the quality of service (QoS) in routing the packets from source to destination.  QoS can be defined in terms of various metrics like delay, bandwidth, packet loss, routing overhead, jitter. Routing can be unicast, multicast or multipath.  This paper presents the description about the QoS multipath routing algorithm.

 A Wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Network consists of variety of mobile nodes that temporally kind a dynamic infrastructure less network. To modify communication between nodes that don’t have direct radio contact, every node should operate as a wireless router and potential forward knowledge traffic of behalf of the opposite node. In MANET Localization is a fundamental problem. Current localization algorithm mainly focuses on checking the localizability of a network and/or how to localize as many nodes as possible. It could provide accurate position information foe kind of expanding application. Localization provide information about coverage, deployment, routing, location, services, target tracking and rescue If high mobility among the mobile nodes occurs path failure breaks. Hence the location information cannot be predicted. Here we have proposed a localization based algorithm which will help to provide information about the localized and non-localized nodes in a network. In the proposed approach DREAM protocol and AODV protocol are used to find the localizability of a node in a network. DREAM protocol is a location protocol which helps to find the location of a node in a network whereas AODV is a routing protocol it discover route as and when necessary it does not maintain route from every node to every other. To locate the mobile nodes in a n/w an node identification algorithm is used. With the help of this algorithm localized and non-localized node can be easily detected in respect of radio range. This method helps to improve the performance of a module and minimize the location error and achieves improved performance in the form of UDP packet loss, received packet and transmitted packets, throughput, routing overhead, packet delivery fraction. All the simulation done through the NS-2 module and tested the mobile ad-hoc network.

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a self-organizing, infrastructure-less network of mobile nodes connecting by wireless links. In operation, the nodes of MANETs do not have a central control mechanism. It is known for its properties of routable network, where each node acts as a router to forward packets to other specific nodes in the network. The unique properties of MANET have made it useful for large number of applications and led to a number of security challenges. Security in the mobile ad hoc network is a very critical job and requires the consideration of different security issues on all the layers of communication. The countermeasures are the functions that reduce or eliminate security vulnerabilities and attacks. This chapter provides a comprehensive study of all prominent attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks described in the literature. It also provides various proactive and reactive approaches proposed to secure the MANETs. Moreover, it also points to areas of research that need to be investigated in the future.

Due to the dynamic nature of mobile ad hoc network (MANET), the quality of service (QoS) requires several improvements. The present papercomeswithin the framework of research to optimize QoS in MANET. In this paper, we propose a novel version of OLSR based on the clustering approach which is inspired from Lin and Chu heuristic and adapted to beimplemented inOLSR. We studied its stability and we compared its performances to those of standard OLSR. The metrics we used in evaluating network performances were average end-to-end delay, control routing overhead, and packet delivery ratio. Experimental results show that our alternative significantly reduces the traffic reserved to monitoring the network, which positively influences other performances such as throughput, delay, and loss.

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is the one of the type of ad hoc network, the MANET is a collection of two or more devices or nodes or terminals with wireless communications and networking capability that communicate with each other without the aid of any centralized  administrator also the wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange information without using any existing fixed network infrastructure. And it's an autonomous system in which mobile hosts connected by wireless links are free to be dynamically and sometime act as routers at the same time, In MANET, the mobile nodes require to forward packets for each other to enable communication among nodes outside of transmission  range. The nodes in the network are free to move independently in any direction, leave and join the network arbitrarily. Thus a node experiences changes in its link states regularly with other devices. Eventually, the mobility in the ad hoc network, change of link states and other properties of  wireless transmission such as attenuation, multipath propagation, interference etc. This paper discuses   study of Mobile ad-hoc Networks (MANET): classification, characteristics, structure of  MANET  and challenges that are imposed by Mobile ad-hoc Networks.


Integrating the Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) with Internet has many advantages. The Data collected from the Mobile nodes can be broadcasted to the world by connecting the Internet to it via Gateway. Clustering is a practical way to enhance the system performance. Security is a significant issue in the Integrated MANETInternet climate in light of the fact that in this climate we need to think about the assaults on Internet availability. So, to overcome this issue, we have proposed Secure and Authenticated routing protocol (SARP) to enhance security performance of the networks. This routing protocol is used to discover a secure route and to transmit data packets securely. In this protocol clusters are formed and security relies on the hardness of the symmetric and asymmetric key algorithms. We show the practicality of this convention as for the security prerequisites and security investigation against different assaults. The estimations and reproductions are given to show the security of the proposed convention. The outcomes show that, the proposed convention have preferred execution over the current secure conventions for Cluster based Internet Integrated with MANETs, in terms of security.


Mobile Ad hoc Network is a decentralized network which can be deployed instantly. Routing is a very challenging task in this network due to dynamic movement of mobile nodes. Various routing protocols such as OLSR, DYMO and ZRP are proposed to establish the route for the data packets in MANET’s. As deploying of the protocols into real environment is a cost expensive process, the protocols are initially evaluated through a simulated arena. Many of the mobile devices are battery equipped and each protocol consumes energy in different manner. In this paper, energy consumption evaluation is carried out on OLSR, DYMO and ZRP protocols in a grid environment. The experiments have shown that DYMO protocol has less energy consumption when compared to OLSR and ZRP protocols.

Multi Point Relays (MPRs) are those nodes that are calculated and determined by the Optimized Link State Routing protocol (OLSR) in order to minimize and avoid overload inside the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). In this paper, we will present a synthetic study of many techniques and methods for calculating and selecting the MPR nodes using a set of criteria namely energy, mobility, bandwidth, the quality of links, etc. The result of this study shows that most techniques consider a limited number of metrics for selecting the MPR nodes and therefore they are insufficient to allow the OLSR protocol to be quite complete and efficient because several metrics can occur at the same time in the real execution environment.
