Abstract

This paper proposes a new multipath routing protocol called maximally disjoint multipath AODV (MDAODV), which exploits maximally node- and link-disjoint paths. The key idea is to extend the route request (RREQ) message by adding source routing information and to make the destination node select two paths from multiple RREQs received. Our simulation study shows that MDAODV outperforms the conventional multipath routing protocol based on AODV as well as the basic AODV protocol in terms of packet delivery ratio, and results in about 15 ~ 50 % less routing overhead.
