Abstract

This work addresses a trust-based enhancement to the Multipath Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AOMDV) routing protocol. While AODV and its multipath variant AOMDV have been fundamental in mobile ad hoc networks, they lack mechanisms to account for node reliability. A probabilistic link-trust model is proposed that incorporates factors such as past behavior, battery levels, and node coupling to distribute data optimally to reduce delay while simultaneously transmitting through multiple paths.
