Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing optimization

This thesis contains a theoretical basis for MANET networks. The main focus of the thesis is principles of these networks, their routing protocols and especially on Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), implementation of this protocol and implementation of new mechanis for peer selection. Thesis contains ETX metric basic and implementation of this metric to AODV protocol. There is a demonstration of simulation of AODV protocol and simulation of AODV-ETX protocol. Simulations are run in Network Simulator 3. AODV and AODV-ETX comparasion are included in thesis
