Abstract: Routing Overheads are the non-data message packets whose role is establishment of routes for data packets. They have to be broadcasted in the network either through flooding or other techniques that can ensure that a path exists before data packets can be sent to various destinations. While we cannot do without these overhead packets, they occupy much of the limited wireless bandwidth available in wireless networks. In Mobile Ad Hoc network scenario, these packets have more negative effect as links need to be confirmed more frequently than in traditional networks mainly because of the unpredictable behaviour of the ad hoc networks. We therefore need suitable algorithms that will reduce these overheads to manageable levels to allow data packet to have more access to the wireless medium.
Various protocols have been suggested in the research. They address routing overheads for suitability of particular protocols leading to lack of standardisation and inapplicability to other protocol classes. We have investigated on ways of ensuring that the Routing Overheads are kept at manageable level by addressing the issue both at node and network levels with a common goal of improving performance of ad hoc networks without dedicating ourselves to a particular class of routing protocol.
