Abstract

Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks is one of the attractive research field that growing exponentially in thelast decade. it surrounded by much challenges that should be solved the improve establishment of suchnetworks. Failure of wireless link is considered as one of popular challenges faced by Mobile Ad-HocNetworks (MANETs). As this type of networks does not require any pre-exist hardware. As well as, everynode have the ability of roaming where it can be connected to other nodes dynamically. Therefore, thenetwork internal structure will be unpredictably changed frequently according to continuous activitiesbetween nodes that simultaneously update network topology in the basis of active ad-hoc nature. Thismodel puts the functionality of routing operation in crucial angle in the area of research under mobile adhocnetwork field due to highly dynamic nature. Adapting such kernel makes MANET indigence new routing techniques to settle these challenges. Thereafter, tremendous amount of routing protocols proposedto argue with ad-hoc nature. Thus, it is quite difficult to specify which protocols operate efficiently underdifferent mobile ad-hoc scenarios. This paper examines some of the prominent routing protocols that aredesigned for mobile ad-hoc networks by describing their structures, operations, features and thencomparing their various characteristics.
