  A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a wireless network that uses multi-hop
peer-to- peer routing instead of static network infrastructure to provide
network connectivity. MANETs have applications in rapidly deployed and dynamic
military and civilian systems. The network topology in a MANET usually changes
with time. Therefore, there are new challenges for routing protocols in MANETs
since traditional routing protocols may not be suitable for MANETs. In recent
years, a variety of new routing protocols targeted specifically at this
environment have been developed, but little performance information on each
protocol and no realistic performance comparison between them is available.
This paper presents the results of a detailed packet-level simulation comparing
three multi-hop wireless ad hoc network routing protocols that cover a range of
design choices: DSR, NFPQR, and clustered NFPQR. By applying queuing
methodology to the introduced routing protocol the reliability and throughput
of the network is increased.
