Topic

Challenges of Routing  in Ad-Hoc Networks

2. Major Goals

a) Discuss challenges of  routing  in Ad-Hoc Networks
b) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different protocols used
c) Discuss which protocol is popular and why
d) Discuss future Research

3. Scope:
         Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETS) comprises of mobile nodes that 
can freely and dynamically self-organize into arbitary and temporary 
on-the-spot network topoligies in an areas where there is no existing 
infrastructure ex in case of natural disaster.The paper will discuss the 
challenges of routing in such an environment and also compare different 
routing protocols.It also focuses on the challenges still faced and the 
areas that are being reasearched.
