Highly Consistent and Secured Data Delivery for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Mobile Ad-hoc Network is an infrastructure less and decentralized network which needs a robust dynamic routing protocol. Many routing protocols have been proposed to accommodate the needs of communications for Mobile Adhoc Network. In this project, there is problem in delivering data packets for highly dynamic mobile ad hoc networks in a reliable and timely manner. Most existing ad hoc routing protocols are susceptible to node mobility, especially for large-scale networks. Driven by this issue, an efficient protocol was introduced. It takes advantage of the stateless property of geographic routing and the broadcast nature of wireless medium. When a data packet is sent out, some of the neighbor nodes that have overheard the transmission will serve as forwarding candidates, and take turn to forward the packet if it is not relayed by the specific best forwarder within a certain period of time.
