Evaluations of AODV and DSR for QOS requirements
Hetal Jasani · 2012
A set of wireless mobile nodes communicate with each other without using any fixed infrastructure in mobile ad hoc network (MANET). MANET devices usually communicate in a seamless manner. There are multiple routing protocols that have been developed for MANETs. There is a need to support VoIP applications in MANETs as they gain popularity and require an efficient routing protocol. Many voice applications have strict requirements such as delay, jitter, etc. This work evaluates the performance of AODV and DSR by comparing the results while supporting VoIP applications with regular HTTP and FTP applications. IEEE 802.11n has been used at link layer for all the nodes and servers in evaluated network. An extensive set of performance experiments with a wide variety of settings has been conducted and findings based on results are concluded for these protocols.
