摘要：Mobile ad hoc network is a temporal wireless network dynamically formed by a group of mobile hosts. These hosts have capabilities of dynamical discovery, orientation and recovery link automatically. They can do the basic network functions of routing, forwarding and service discovery under the non-infrastructure environment Mobile ad hoc networks have many advantages over traditional networks, such as scalability, mobility and robust city. The network can be formed easily. It is gained more and more attention in recent years for the using in urgent and abrupt occasion, for example communication in military battlefield, salvage, temporary assembly and open country construction etc. Mobile ad hoc networks have many characteristics: constrained transmission bandwidth, limited host power and limited processing ability. Therefore, the routing protocols for ad hoc networks should be efficiency, low energy, consumption and lightweight computing. The ad hoc networks have different scale and characteristics in different applications. The change frequency of network topology and the intensity of traffic are difference in different environments, which will be the important parameters effecting on the performance of the routing protocols. Therefore in different network environments, the protocol parameters should been configured dynamically. Thus dynamical configuration can adapt to the changing of the network topology and improve the protocol performance. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics and applications of MANETs and will describe the open issues in development of routing techniques in MANETs.
