Yates Algorithm to Analyze the Performance of MANET Routing Protocol

Abstract

To test the performance of any routing protocol in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), the re-searchers simulate their scenarios several times with different simulators to get either positive or negative results. This operation of the simulation can last many hours and sometimes several days depending on the performance either of the software or the hardware, and the number of factors used to analyze. In this paper, we propose a new method reckons on the Yates algorithm that are considered as a solution to evaluate the performance of any MANET routing protocols under the effect of any number of factors. This approach allows creating a simulation model in the form of mathematical formulas. To check the efficiency of our proposed method we chose Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) as MANET routing protocol and the effect of four factors which are: The Black Hole attack, Worm Hole attack, Node Speed and the Pause Time.
