Abstract

ABSTRACTMultipath extension of ad hoc on‐demand distance vector (AODV) protocol can provide reliable and adaptable routes in mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose an AODV‐based acyclic multipath routing method, which uses a dynamic hop count to discover loop‐free multipath routes. The advantage of our method is that it allows a node to add a route entry with a hop count that is larger than its current hop count. This increases the possibility to find more loop‐free route backups. To evaluate the performance, we present the simulation at the end of the paper and compare it with ad hoc on‐demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV) protocol and others.
