Performance analysis of routing protocols in Bluetooth networks
Hemlata Soni, Ajay Khunteta · 2014
Bluetooth is an open standard specification for a radio frequency (RF)-based, short-range connectivity technology and a self-organizing and rapidly deployable ad hoc network, in which neither a wired backbone nor a base station is necessary. Routing is an important issue of the Bluetooth/ad hoc networks as the node positions keeps on changing in such networks and routing packets requires gathering information of these changes and then responding according to these changes.This paper concentrates on three routing algorithms Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), which are considered as suitable protocols for Ad hoc networks.The proposed work analyses the performance of above mentioned three routing protocols for different Quality of Service (QoS) parameters by varying network parameters-Stop time, Active connections, Speed, Queuelength, Rate and Packetsize.Quality of Service parameters has been analysed are- Throughput, Packet delivery fraction, Overhead, Dropped packets and Delay. For simulation Network Simulation Tool NS-2 has been used.
