An Investigation Into the Advantages Mechanisms and Developmental Challenges of Scripted Mobile Routing

<p>Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) routing protocols provide routing solutions in mobile wireless networks without assuming any prior knowledge of topology nor any prediction of future topology. However the resulting routes suffer from delay and consume precious bandwidth. Perfectly scripted routing could theoretically be optimal (i.e. introduce no delay and cost no additional bandwidth) but would naturally be very fragile. This thesis explores a merging of these approaches following a routing script if and when available but reverting to a robust recovery approach otherwise. Script-Assisted Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (S-AODV) routing protocol is designed to take advantage of prior knowledge of topology to improve performance in a MANET better utilizing available bandwidth. S-AODV uses pre-simulation to build a script to substitute for the route discovery process avoiding delay and bandwidth penalties.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
