Reletive Distance Mobile AD HOC Networks (RDMAR)

Ad hoc networks are characterized by wireless connectivity, continuous changing topology, distributed operation and ease of deployment routing in Ad hoc networks is a challenge due to mobility and thus is a current area of research. In context of Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET) we can say that Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is collection of multi-hop wireless mobile nodes that communicate with each other without centralized control or established infrastructure. The wireless links in this network are highly error prone and can go down frequently due to mobility of nodes, interference and less infrastructure. Considering the importance of reactive routing protocols, we have all protocols share similar on- demand behavior, but their internal mechanisms lead to significant difference in their performance of the protocols by various network load and mobility. In recent years, several routing protocols have been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks and prominent among them are DSR, AODV, TORA and RDMAR. This research paper provides an overview of RDMAR protocol by presenting its characteristics, functionality, benefits and limitations.We concentrate on RDMAR routing protocol
