Implementation and Evaluation of Opportunistic Routing Protocols for Wireless and New Generation Communication Networks

Abstract

Current wireless networks are based on unicast routing protocol derived from wired networks. The purpose of this paper is to implement and to evaluate opportunistic routing protocols in new generation’s wireless network. This is a comparative study between two opportunistic protocols, which are extremely opportunistic routing protocol and simple opportunistic adaptive routing protocol. The main goal of this survey is to show the benefits required by using opportunistic approach to optimize the new generation’s wireless networks operations and implemented the most used protocols under MATLAB framework.
