Ad-hoc and Hybrid Networks Performance Comparison of MANET Routing Protocols in Ad-hoc and Hybrid Networks
Thomas Staub · 2004
An ad-hoc network is an accumulation of wireless nodes forming a provisional network without any established infrastructure. Today, there exist various routing protocols for this environment. This paper compares the performance of some of them. Furthermore, the idea of extending a cellular network with ad-hoc routing facilities is haunted and the performance of some existing ad-hoc routing protocols is tested. The performance tests are done by using Network Simulator 2 (ns2). By doing the simulations the need of a routing protocol adapted to the new situation is shown.
