Abstract

This paper describes a new approach for routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks that is based on the concept of polymorphic behavior. This approach combines the benefits of proactive routing and probabilistic routing in time in a periodic manner in order to get the best of each approach at the appropriate time. The polymorphic behavior aims at improving the routing information in order to minimize the usage of false routes and to improve connectivity. Simulation results shows that the scheme is achieving very high conformity with real (simulated) and accurate routing information.
