Mobile ad hoc networks are typically characterized by high mobility and frequent link failures that result in low throughput and high end-to-end delay. To reduce the number of route discoveries due to such broken paths, multipath routing can be utilized so that alternate paths are available. Current approaches to multipath routing make use of pre-computed routes determined during route discovery. These solutions, however, suffer during high mobility because the alternate paths are not actively maintained. Hence, precisely when needed, the routes are often broken. To overcome this problem, the paper presents an adaptive multipath solution. In this approach, multiple paths are formed during the route discovery process.
