An ad-hoc network operates without a central entity or infrastructure, and is composed of highly mobile hosts. In ad-hoc network, routing protocols are with host mobility and bandwidth constraints. There have been many recent proposals of routing protocols for ad-hoc networks. A recent trend in ad hoc network routing is the reactive on-demand philosophy where routes are established only when required. AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing) evaluates routes only on an as-needed basis and routes are maintained only as long as they are necessary. Because the network topology changes frequently in ad-hoc networks, some on-demand protocols with multi-paths or backup routes have been proposed. Sung-Ju Lee and Mario Gerla proposed an AODV-BR scheme to improve existing on-demand routing protocols by creating a mesh and providing multiple alternate routes . The algorithm establishes the mesh and multi-path using the RREP (Route Reply) of AODV, which does not transmit any extra control message. In this paper, we propose two schemes : AODV-ABR(Adaptive Backup Route) and AODV-ABL (Adaptive Backup Route and Local repair) to increase the adaptation of routing protocol to topology changes by modifying AODV-BR. In AODV-ABR, the alternative route can be creating by overhearing not only RREP packets but also data packets. AODV-ABL combines the benefits of AODV-ABR and Local Repair. Finally, we evaluate the performance improvement by simulation.
