Abstract

Recently, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have drawn attention by many researchers due to the development of portable devices and wireless network appliances have accounted for ad hoc networks. Many academic researchers have shown great interest in ad hoc networks for twenty years. One of the main fields adopted by researchers studying on Mobile Ad-hoc Networks is to develop routing protocols in wireless systems. Routing protocol development is related to complexity, scalability, adaptability, productivity, and battery life in wireless systems. Routing protocols for wireless systems are developed in order to cope with these problems. In this paper, a new routing protocol for mobile ad hoc network (Bee-MANET) was presented to improve network throughput. Bee-MANET, AODV and Beeadhoc routing algorithms for MANETs are empirically compared in order to research their large-scale behaviors. The results presented as graphs and brief discussion is given.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Today rapidly developing Internet significantly relies on mobile or wireless (IEEE 802.11a/b/g) technologies, which allow and low cost expansion for the Internet coverage [1]. The development of communication technology has made wireless equipment less, more powerful and less expensive Such rapid technology improvement has contributed great growth to mobile devices connected to the Internet [2]. Due to the frequently changing network topology, mobile ad hoc networks utilize diverse routing protocols from other wireless systems. The main part of every routing protocol is the routing protocol, which specifies all the logical processes of routing In this process network traffic should not increase and should lose lesser number of packets, delay and battery life. In MANET's, the growth of the number of nodes demands design and development of novel and intelligent routing protocols that would result in an intelligent and knowledgeable network layer [5].
