Abstract

In this paper we presents a performance comparison of Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad hoc On Demand Vector (AODV), Cluster Based Routing Protocol (CBRP) and Improved Cluster Based Routing Protocol (i-CBRP) routing protocols which builds upon a cluster based wireless network infrastructure. This evaluation is necessary due to unique enhancement made to traditional CBRP by way of implementing congestion control scheme as part of the structure establishing i-CBRP. First, we introduce the network infrastructure on which the routing protocols are to send packets. We simulates Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) network infrastructure using NS2 network simulator. DSR, AODV, CBRP and i-CBRP routing protocols are implemented to generate various simulation results. The results shows that i-CBRP performs better in terms of average packet delay, throughput, volume of traffic controls and average packet delivery ratio when compared with CBRP, while DSR performs better in terms of total volume of control traffic. AODV is the overall best in terms of average packet delay. Key words: Node Density, Evaluation, MANET, Cluster, Routing

Highlights

Wireless ad-hoc networks are network architecture that can be promptly set up in the absence of any fixed infrastructure
We aim to evaluate the performances of Ad hoc On Demand Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Cluster Based Routing Protocol (CBRP) and Improved Cluster Based Routing Protocol (i-CBRP), under varying network sizes using simulation approach in mobile ad hoc networks
One principal contribution of this paper is to show case the improvement made on CBRP by iCBRP routing protocol

Summary

Introduction

Wireless ad-hoc networks are network architecture that can be promptly set up in the absence of any fixed infrastructure. There has been an amplified attention in wireless ad-hoc networking research (Alotaibi & Mukherjee, 2012; Mohsin, Bakar, Adekiigbe, & Gafoor, 2012, Ali. S. et al, 2015). A typical example of wireless ad-hoc network is mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). MANET is created by connecting autonomous mobile devices through wireless links without the need for external infrastructure. Wireless ad-hoc network has invariably grown the concept of pervasive and ubiquitous computing into a standardized level. Ad-hoc networks are applied in the area of disaster recovery and military communication hardware deployment and usage. In some cases, such as universities and colleges recreations, international conferences and
