Abstract

Mobile means moving and ad hoc means temporary without any fixed infrastructure so mobile ad hoc networks are kind of temporary networks in which nodes are moving without any fixed infrastructure or centralized administration[1]. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(MANETs) are fundamental element of pervasive networks, where user communicate anywhere, any time and on fly. MANETs introduce a new communication paradigm, which does not require a fixed infrastructure they rely on wireless terminals for routing and transport services .Routing in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks is a challenging task due to its frequent changes in topologies. In this paper authors review routing protocol, challenges and security of ad-hoc networks. Mobile ad hoc networking is one of the most important and essential technologies that support future computing scheme. The characteristics of MANET bring this technology as a great opportunity together with many challenges.

Keywords

Characteristics, Challenges, Routing protocols, Mobile Ad-hoc Networks, Security.
