Abstract: MANET networks often form with mobile devices to enable communication and connectivity in time-critical applications. The routing protocol employ in the network often defines the energy efficiency and network performance in ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose a directional flooding-based routing approach to improve data reliability and improve packet delivery ratio in MANET network. The proposed routing protocol simulate in the NS2 environment to evaluate network performance of flood-based routing algorithm.
Keyword: MANET, Energy Efficiency, Ad Hoc Network, Routing and Data Reliability.
