Abstract: Mobile ad hoc networks exhibit distinctive challenges e.g., limited transmission range and dynamic mobility of the participating nodes. These challenges serve as the reasons for the frequent occurrence of network partitioning in mobile ad hoc networks. Network partitioning happens when a linked network topology is partitioned into two or more independent partitions. Because of this phenomenon, the participating node in one partition maintains no linkage with a node in another partition. Network partitioning results in the inaccessibility of mapping knowledge, logical labeling space, and logical structure of the participating nodes. As a result, the performance of a distributed hash tables (DHTs)-oriented routing mechanism is severely affected. In DHT-oriented routing methodologies, the logical network identifier of a new participating node is calculated by considering the logical network identifiers of all the physical neighboring nodes. The logical network identifiers are utilized for routing of packets from a source participating node to a destination participating node in the network. In the event of network partitioning, the incorrect computation of logical network identifiers happens concerning the physical proximity of the participating nodes. This research work suggests an effective routing mechanism to deal with the aforementioned network partitioning-related issues. Simulation results prove the superiority of the suggested scheme over the existing mechanisms.
