Directional routing protocol in wireless mobile ad hoc network

Abstract

Advancement in wireless communication technology and portable computing devices such as wireless handhelds, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) and other mobile information terminals have led to a revolutionary change in our information society towards the era of mobile computing. The ubiquitous access to a variety of digital devices and multimedia tools makes it possible to create, analyze, synthesize and communicate knowledge using a rich variety of media forms. Additionally, the mobile devices are getting smaller, cheaper, more convenient, and more powerful and have contributed to the explosive growth of the mobile computing equipment market. Vast interest and concerted work in developing and enhancing wireless and mobile network protocols are being driven by the ever increasing demand for an anytime and anywhere Internet access.
