Performance Analysis of Adaptive Routing Protocol Based on Different Mobility Model with Varying Network Size

Abstract

As the number of mobile users is increasing, we are getting different mobility patterns in the real world scenarios. These mobility patterns affect the performance of the routing protocols. So the selection of effective routing protocol in such scenarios becomes essential. Various mobility patterns have been proposed in which performance of routing protocols can be tested. These mobility scenarios are modelled in most simulators that are very closer to the realistic mobility model. The main interest of this paper is to test the effect of the mobility on the adaptive routing protocols. So in this paper, we investigated the performance of adaptive routing protocol (like AODV, DSDV and OLSR) in different mobility scenarios like Random Walk, Random Waypoint and Gauss Markov mobility models. This analysis is done based on throughput, average end to end delay and packet delivery ratio with varying number of nodes in these mobility models.
