A reliable unicast routing protocol for mobile ad hoc network

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a special and attractive type of new wireless networks. It is an autonomous system that can dynamically be set up anywhere and anytime without using any pre-existing network infrastructure and its mobile hosts are free to move randomly. Host mobility in MANETs causes...

Host mobility in MANETs causes failure of wireless links between nodes and breaks all the routes that use these links.
