Based on this, many people found out that there are a high number of control packets in the short-lived connection. The main idea of this paper was to compare between the original MAODV with another proposed approach used for enhancing MAODV protocol called (E-MAODV). The result appears that the E-MAODV protocol performs better than the traditional MAODV protocol.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
