MANET Performance Enhancing with Packet Buffering

MANET consist of a group of wireless nodes, which cooperate with each other by forwarding packets to enable multi-hop communications. This type of network requires no centralized or fixed network infrastructure [11]. Since the node may change their position unpredictably, the data transmission can be temporarily disrupted if any link on the path fails. Unless an alternate path is immediately available, the packets are likely to be lost or delayed. To overcome this problem [2] suggest some technique such as using the two-hop routing information and data buffering [1][2]. The route caching [9] has been suggested in many papers but the data packet buffering has been given little attention. In this paper we propose the new design for enhancing the performance of MANET by buffering the data and providing an alternate path for the packet to reach their destination.
