Here, when a data packet is broadcast by an upstream node and has happened to be received by a downstream node further along the route, it continues its way from there and thus will arrive at the destination node sooner. This is achieved through cooperative data communication at the link and network layers. This work is a powerful extension to the pioneering work of ExOR. We test CORMAN and compare it to AODV, and observe significant performance improvement in varying mobile settings.Index Terms-Cooperative communication, opportunistic routing, opportunistic forwarding, mobile ad hoc networks, proactive source routing, local retransmission, forwarder list update
