The mobile adhoc network (Manet) has been identified as the key entity in modern information society. It has been applied for several purposes in daily life. The mobile user accesses various services through Manet. This paper present a detailed survey on the problem of data transmission, routing and sink point streaming in Manet. The mobile user accesses various services through number of intermediate nodes which requires efficient routing. The performance of data transmission depends on the efficiency of routing being used. Similarly, the routing is performed in several ways and the performance of routing affect the performance of various other qualities of service factors. Finally, any service access requires higher data rate and to achieve higher streamlining performance, all the discussed factors should be considered. This paper surveys various methods of routing, data transmission and sink point streaming techniques and presents a comparative study. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
