Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing


Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing is a routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks and other wireless ad hoc networks. It was jointly developed on July 2003 in Nokia Research Center, University of California, Santa Barbara and University of Cincinnati by C. Perkins, E. Belding-Royer and S. Das.
AODV is the routing protocol used in ZigBee – a low power, low data rate wireless ad hoc network. There are various implementations of AODV such as MAD-HOC, Kernel-AODV, AODV-UU, AODV-UCSB and AODV-UIUC.
One of the original publications on this technique won SIGMOBILE Test of Time Award in 2018.
