In this paper, we propose an asymmetric link dynamic routing algorithm for ubiquitous multimedia services named DRAMA (Dynamic Routing Algorithm for asymmetric link in Mobile Ad hoc networks). The proposed algorithm allows a first sink node of the unidirectional link to detect the unidirectional link and its reverse route and provide information regarding the reverse route to other sink nodes, thereby minimizing unnecessary flows and effectively using the unidirectional link. DRAMA also incooperates redirection process that actively supports a unidirectional link generated during data transmission to deal with a topology change due to the movement of node. Further, we shows the superiority of DRAMA to the existing algorithms in terms of a delay in data transmission, throughput, and transmission overhead through simulation study.
