Performance Comparison of Routing protocols for MANETs.
Anshu Bajaj · IOSR Journal of Engineering · 2013
Mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous system, where nodes/stations are connected with each other through wireless links.There is no restriction on the nodes to join or leave the network, therefore the nodes join or leave freely.Mobile ad hoc network topology is dynamic that can change rapidly because the nodes move freely and can organize themselves randomly.This property of the nodes makes the mobile ad hoc networks unpredictable from the point of view of scalability and topology.This paper highlights routing protocols in MANETs (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks).In general, routing protocols for MANETs are designed based on the assumption that all participating nodes are fully cooperative.However, due to the open structure and scarcely available battery-based energy, node misbehaviors may exist.In this paper AODV and DSR routing protocols are to be discussed and measure the performance in the end to end delay, PDF, throughput with constant mobility.For the implementation purpose we have used network simulator-2 (NS-2)
