Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a set of mobile nodes that communicate with each other to configure an immediate network without utilizing any of infrastructure, the centralized access point or centralized administration in multiple hop manner. There are a lot of routing protocols have been proposed in MANET which are different from each other in the performance and the mechanism. Therefore, the performance study of those protocols in different scenarios is needed. This paper presents the performance comparison between Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad hoc on demand distance Vector Routing (AODV) as reactive routing protocols and Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) as a proactive routing protocol to precisely determine which protocol is more effective. Network Simulator (NS) version 2.35 has used to simulate and evaluate the performance of these protocols in terms of the packet delivery ratio, average throughput, average end-to-end delay, and packet loss ratio with respect to the variable number of nodes.

Highlights

  • Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a set of mobile nodes that communicate with each other to configure an immediate network without utilizing any of infrastructure, the centralized access point or centralized administration in multiple hop manner, so the network in MANET is infrastructure-less [1]

  • Where Ad hoc on demand distance Vector Routing (AODV) has the highest value of throughput, it has achieved 10096.82 of throughput and the performance of Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol is slightly higher than Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) protocol where DSR has achieved 5004.56 throughput and DSDV protocol has obtained 4479.68

Summary

Introduction

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a set of mobile nodes that communicate with each other to configure an immediate network without utilizing any of infrastructure, the centralized access point or centralized administration in multiple hop manner, so the network in MANET is infrastructure-less [1]. In MANET, the nodes collaborate with each other in the job of routing packets from the source node S to the destination node D as every node in the network is capable of communicating just with those nodes that positioned within its transmission radius R, simultaneously, S node and D node can be located at a range very higher than radius those nodes. The nodes in MANET need to reroute the packets to other nodes to enable the communication among the nodes that are located outside the transmission range. There are a lot of routing protocol have been proposed in MANET which witnessed a huge interest by researchers. Where the study in [5] has presented a comparison of LAR and OLSR routing protocols in the detection of the forest fire based on MANET. The results showed that DSDV is better than WRP and the performance of OLSR protocol showed the best as compared to other protocols
