摘要：Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks is one of the attra
ctive research field that growing exponentially in
the
last decade. it surrounded by much challenges that
should be solved the improve establishment of such
networks. Failure of wireless link is considered as
one of popular challenges faced by
Mobile Ad-Hoc
Networks (MANETs)
. As this type of networks does not require any pre
-exist hardware. As well as, every
node have the ability of roaming where it can be co
nnected to other nodes dynamically. Therefore, the
network internal structure will be unpredictably ch
anged frequently according to continuous activities
between nodes that simultaneously update network to
pology in the basis of active ad-hoc nature. This
model puts the functionality of routing operation i
n crucial angle in the area of research under mobil
e ad-
hoc network field due to highly dynamic nature. Ada
pting such kernel makes MANET indigence new
routing techniques to settle these challenges. Ther
eafter, tremendous amount of routing protocols prop
osed
to argue with ad-hoc nature. Thus, it is quite diff
icult to specify which protocols operate efficientl
y under
different mobile ad-hoc scenarios. This paper exami
nes some of the prominent routing protocols that ar
e
designed for mobile ad-hoc networks by describing t
heir structures, operations, features and then
comparing their various characteristics.
