Wireless Networking is an emerging technology that will allow users to access information and services regardless of their geographic position. In contrast to infrastructure based networks, in wireless Ad hoc Networks, all nodes are Mobile and can be connected dynamically in an arbitrary manner. All nodes of these networks behave as routers and take part in discovery and maintenance of routes to other nodes in the network. This feature presents a great challenge to the design of a routing scheme since link bandwidth is very limited and the network topology changes as users roam. This paper investigates the behavior of existing traditional routing algorithms and proposes and implements a new routing approach for Ad hoc wireless networks. The design and evaluation of multiple descriptions coding for multimedia transport over Mobile Ad hoc Networks. Instead of transporting data through a single communication pipe, the data is split up into multiple streams, which each take a different route through the network. This document explains the basics of Multi-path routing and provides an overview and comparison of Multi-path routing protocols which may be suited for the use of multiple description coding.
