Abstract
A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is underpinning less system of movable devices connected by wireless links. Every device in MANET moves arbitrarily on any path with no impediments and this free movement helps in transforming its links to new devices promptly and unpredictably. MANETs do not require a predefined arrangement or centralized administration to interconnect with each other. This research work is carried out to compare the efficiency of two of the on-demand routing protocols - Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) and Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) for mobile ad hoc network and the parameters taken into consideration for evaluation are packet delivery ratio, throughput, End to End Delay, Routing overhead, Energy Consumption and others. With the help of NS2, the simulated results of both the protocols are analysed based on its parameters chosen in this work. In particular, the parameters mainly considered for the comparison are packet delivery ratio and End to End Delay. Finally, the performance of these two protocols is compared on the basis of its simulation time.
Highlights
Wireless networks are hasty prominence day by day, as users want wireless connectivity irrespective of their geographic stance
Network simulation reproduces the behaviour of a network by means of protocols and here the time taken for simulating the network by considering all these matrices such as Packet delivery ratio, end to end delay, routing overhead, throughput and energy consumption
Different metrics are used like end-to-end delay, throughput, packet delivery ratio and energy consumption to investigate the behaviour of these two protocols under different simulation time and speeds of the mobile sink
Summary
Wireless networks are hasty prominence day by day, as users want wireless connectivity irrespective of their geographic stance. Nodes are the systems or devices i.e. mobile phone, laptop, personal digital assistance, MP3 player and personal computer that are participating in the network and the mobile. These nodes can act as host/router or both at the same time. They can form arbitrary topologies depending on their connectivity with each other in the network. These nodes have the capability to configure themselves and because of their self configuration ability, they can be deployed immediately without the need of any infrastructure
