(514) 340-3240Abstract. Contrary to cellular networks, ad-hoc networks are a form of mobilenetworks that function without any fixed <strong>in</strong>frastructure. This paper proposes amethod which improves rout<strong>in</strong>g success rates <strong>in</strong> mobile ad hoc networks. Thismethod is based on the density of the nodes <strong>in</strong> the neighborhood of a route andon the availability of this neighborhood. The results obta<strong>in</strong>ed are encourag<strong>in</strong>g:the data packet loss rate is significantly reduced and the time required to completea local repair route follow<strong>in</strong>g a failure decreased significantly.Index Terms: mobile ad hoc networks, route repair, AODV1 IntroductionAn ad hoc network is a mobile wireless network composed of several mobile nodes,likely to communicate together without the required <strong>in</strong>tervention of any centralizedmanagement or exist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>frastructure. The nodes of these networks must be able tocooperate among themselves to allow communication. The deployment of ad hocnetworks is thus largely simplified compared to other forms of mobile networks.This paper suggests a method which improves the probabilities of success of a localroute repair <strong>in</strong> mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) <strong>by</strong> accelerat<strong>in</strong>g the process ofroute reparation after the departure of a node <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the route. Section 2 <strong>in</strong>troducessome background <strong>in</strong>formation and related work. Section 3 describes the solutionsuggested to improve route repairs. F<strong>in</strong>ally, Section 4 presents and analyzessimulation results.2 Background and Related WorkA rout<strong>in</strong>g protocol is a mechanism <strong>by</strong> which user traffic is directed and transportedthrough a network from a source node to its dest<strong>in</strong>ation node.
