Abstract
The variation of link quality of wireless channels has been a challenging issue in data communications. The same broadcast transmission may be perceived significantly differently, and usually independently, by receivers at different geographic locations. The combination of link-quality variation with the broadcasting nature of wireless channels has revealed a direction in the research of wireless networking namely, cooperative communication. We also consider the problem of routing in intermittently connected networks. In such networks there is no guarantee that a fully connected path between source and destination exists at any time, rendering traditional routing protocols unable to deliver messages between hosts. In this article, we tackle the problem of opportunistic data transfer in mobile ad hoc networks and able to deliver more messages with lower communication overhead. Solution is called Cooperative Opportunistic Routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (CORMAN) with Summary vector containing delivery predictability value. It helps not to transfer message to every nodes in range, but to the most likely node. Also other nodes helps the process by transferring the missing message.

1. Introduction

Mobile ad hoc network is decentralized form of network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks or access points in managed (infrastructure) wireless networks. Instead, each node participates in
