Modeling uncertainties in proactive routing protocols for Ad hoc networks
Hanen Idoudi, Miklós Molnár, Abdelfettah Belghith, Bernard Cousin · 2007
In this paper we introduce a new model for ad hoc networks. Our model aims at reproducing the states alternation of links and nodes led by dynamic and random topology of ad hoc networks as well as random delays of packets delivery. Furthermore, we study the phenomenon of uncertainties in routing operation due to the unpredictable topological changes. Unlike mobility models which reflect only the impact of mobility on routing protocols, our proposal can demonstrates the impact of several identified hazards on the performances of proactive routing protocols. We show through various simulations the performances of our model within the framework of a proactive routing.
