Comparing the throughput and delay of proactive and reactive routing protocols in mobile ad-hoc networks

Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are forthcoming wireless networks lying of mobile nodes that communicate without base stations. Nodes in these networks will create both user and application activity and complete network controlling and routing protocols. Rapidly evolving availability, higher error rates, collision obstructions, network partitions, and bandwidth constraints together stance new issues in network control. Many routing protocols for such networks have been recommended so far to find out improved routes from source to the destination and prominent among them are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV), and Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Dynamic MANET On-Demand (DYMO), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) routing protocols. The comparison of these protocols should be considered as the essential advance towards the innovation of routing protocol and the results show that AODV's performance is optimally well than DSDV, TORA, DYMO and DSR in the different properties of the routing protocol.
