Ad Hoc network is one of the popular wireless multi-hop networks. Nodes or Users in Ad Hoc network can move randomly and freely to maintain communication without the control of the fixed infrastructure. Due to the limited transmission power and wireless coverage of the terminal, if two terminals that are beyond their respective transmission radius need communicate, they must use other intermediate or relay nodes for packet forwarding, so that a wireless Ad Hoc network is formed among these nodes. In this paper, the current state-of-the-art multipath routing protocols for Ad Hoc networks are reviewed. Particularly, the pros and cons of them are analyzed. Finally, they are summarized and compared.
