ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of methods and apparatus for providing a dynamic on-demand routing protocol are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a method is disclosed comprising receiving, by a destination node, a first route request from a source node over a plurality of routes between the source node and the destination node, and selecting, by the destination node, a first route and a second route from the plurality of routes as a current route and a candidate route, respectively. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
