The invention discloses a communication method based on an improved ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV) protocol. The method comprises the following steps of: judging whether a node sends a route request (RREQ), a route reply (RREP) control packet or a data packet or not in a Hello period, if so, not transmitting Hello information in the period, otherwise, normally transmitting the Hello information; and calculating the stability of routes in a network, and selecting the route which is most stable or has the same stability but has fewer hops to transmit the data packet. By the method, the protocol is optimized by combining a carrying mechanism and a neighboring stability algorithm and the advantages of the carrying mechanism and the weighting neighboring stability algorithm are integrated, so that the routing overhead is greatly reduced and the end-to-end delay performance is greatly improved.
