“…Recent work on the designing of efficient ad hoc routing protocols focuses either on fault tolerance (Xue and Nahrstedt, 2003;Thallner and Moser, 2005;Oommen and Misra, 2006;Misra et al, 2009Misra et al, , 2012Li et al, 2013;John and Pushpalakshmi, 2014), clustering (Yu and Chong, 2006;Li et al, 2013;John and Pushpalakshmi, 2014;Chatterjee et al, 2002;Gavalas et al, 2006;Ferdous et al, 2011;Aissa and Belghith, 2013;Mahmood and Johari, 2014;Phate et al, 2014), energy conservation (Tseng and Chen, 2007;Safa et al, 2008;Ni et al, 2010;Roda and Charu 2014;Choukri et al, 2014;Kulkarni and Yuvaraju, 2015), node position (Misra and Rajesh, 2011) or a combination of above in order to increase the packet delivery, reducing the overheads and minimising the latency in MANETs. A lot of proposals are given to accomplish these goals at almost every level of the network since from physical layer to transport layer.…”
