The opportunistic routing scheme is used to provide reliability in the data transmission over mobile ad-hoc network. In this paper, Robustness Enhancement using opportunistic Routing (RE-oR) in Mobile Ad-hoc networks is proposed. In this scheme, the next forwarder node is chosen dynamically based on the link quality and the distance to the destination. So, the data can reach the destination without delay and in a reliable manner. The proposed routing scheme is evaluated by using the simulation results obtained by Network Simulator-2 simulator.
