A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. An important problem in is finding and maintaining routes since host mobility can cause topology changes. Several routing for MANETs are proposed which differ in the way new routes are found and existing ones are modified. MANET can be realized by different networks such as Body Area Network (BAN), Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 and Ultra – Wide Band (UWB) can also be used for realizing MANETs. When each one of these networks combined with communication technologies pose various challenges in the design of algorithms. This paper discusses on the various algorithms for topology creation in MANETs.
