Local Recovery Based Route Maintenance (AODV-LR) for AODV Routing Protocol?

Ad hoc network is a collection of two or more mobile nodes that are equipped with wireless communications and also having network capability. It is an adaptive network. When there is a need in order to formed as well as deformed on the fly. There is no centralized administration. Based on update mechanism, the ad hoc network can be classified into three types. They are proactive, reactive and hybrid routing protocols. In this AODV is one of reactive routing protocol. This paper mainly concentrates on Route maintenance phase of AODV. In this work we suggest a new approach called AODV-LR. It includes the concept of local recovery with AODV. This approach will used to reduce the transmission time in case of path breakages occur and also it provides better packet delivery ratio. The proposed concept will increase the performance of AODV routing protocol.
