Abstract: Autonomous mobile mesh networks are a combination of mobile ad hoc networks and mesh networks. Mobile ad hoc networks are temporarily formed for a specific purpose, without any fixed infrastructure. Mesh networks are fully connected networks with the support of fixed infrastructure. Autonomous mobile mesh networks (AMMNET in short) [1], is the framework designed for supporting mesh networks, which are mobile still expects connectivity as opposed to ad hoc networks. This paper proposes a multipath routing technology for AMMNETs which provides better packet delivery ratio in AMMNETs. The simulations are done in ns2. The results prove that, multipath routing technology works well with AMMNET framework.

Keywords: AMMNET, routing, multipath, ns2
