Abstract Nowadays Ad Hoc Routing Protocols have been developed and evaluated using several different simulation tools, i.e. NS-2. However, all these investigations do not consider the fact that future wireless networks are capable to adapt their behaviour to the channel situation. These adapting functionalities haven't been developed to be used in Multi-Hop Ad Hoc Networks. Therefore the performance of Ad Hoc Routing using IEEE 802.11a turned out to be unexpected inefficient. This paper presents a new concept to improve Ad Hoc Routing Protocols exploiting IEEE 802.11a Link Adaptation capabilities. The IEEE 802.11a Link Adaptation information is used to predict the link stability and link lifetime. After introducing the IEEE 802.11a MAC Layer and its transmission modes, the paper reveals some insights of the IEEE 802.11a Link Adaptation behaviour. Based on the Link Layer Information, new route maintenance Protocol ERU (Early Route Update) is proposed to improve the active route maintenance in Ad Hoc Networks.
