In recent days, routing and security in the Mobile Ad hoc wireless Network is becoming more popular. The increased usage of mobile phones and internet connections facilitates the need of Mobile ad hoc wireless network. As the technology grows, the security and threats are also growing in an increased rate. Further, ensuring security for these networks is big challenge. Hence, this paper focuses on the area of Mobile ad hoc network and provides a comprehensive literature on the node stability, localization and routing. Further, this paper extensively review the routing strategies carried out in Sensor and Mobile Ad hoc Network. In addition, it also gives a deep insight about the challenges involved and precisely categorizes it with a complete study. Finally, this paper concludes by leveraging the lessons learnt from this survey.
