Abstract

Ad hoc networks are characterized by multihop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols plays an important role. We compare the performance of two prominent on-demand routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks: Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad Hoc On-demand distance Vector Routing (AODV). A detailed simulation model with MAC and physical layer models is used to study the interlayer interactions and their performance implications. We demonstrate that even though DSR and AODV share similar on-demand behavior, the differences in the protocol mechanisms can lead to significant performance differentials. In this paper we examine two on demand routing protocols AODV and DSR based on packet delivery ratio, normalized routing load, normalized MAC load, average end to end delay by varying the number of sources, speed and pause time.

Highlights

  • A network is a collection of two or more computing devices, which is connected by a communication medium

  • The simulation parameters which have been considered for doing the performance comparison of two ondemand routing protocols is given below

  • Figs shows that the packet delivery ratio for the two ondemand routing protocol is similar

Summary

Introduction

A network is a collection of two or more computing devices, which is connected by a communication medium. In this research paper we attempted to present an overview of two main categories of mobile ad-hoc routing protocols and performance comparison of both the protocols based on Random way point model and source-destination pairs and the packet sending rate in each pair is varied to change the offered load in the network.
