A performance comparison of routing protocols for ad hoc networks
Azzedine Boukerche · 2005
Ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. Because of the limited range of each host's wireless transmission, to communicate with hosts outside its transmission range, a host needs to enlist the aid of its nearby hosts in forwarding packets to the destination. However, since there is no stationary infrastructure such as base stations, each host has to act as a router for itself. In this paper, we focus upon on-demand schemes. We study and compare the performance of the following three routing Protocols AODV, CBRP and DSR.
