Comparative Study for Performance Analysis of Routing Protocols in Mobility and Non-Mobility Scenarios


Book Description

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) has a collection of numbers of wireless nodes which is each device in MANET having ability to free to move in any direction so that it is useful in all applications. In MANET nodes change position quite frequently, this means that we have need routing protocols that quickly adapts to topology changes. An ad-hoc network is self-organising and distributive in manner. The MANET is works as router so that linked with the other nearest devices. A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a wireless network follows the multiple hop routing instead of static network infra to provide networkconnectivity. Each device in a MANET is free to move independently in all direction freewaysand will therefore nodes change position in large networks all routing protocols. The routing protocols are needed for conveying information in Ad-hoc network there are various performance parameters to compare the Ad-hoc routing protocols.

Performance Analysis of Mobile Ad-hoc Routing Protocols by Varying Mobility, Speed and Network Load


Book Description

One of the most promising network that has emerged from the technology world is the mobile ad-hoc network or MANET. It is a type of multi-hop network. Wireless by nature, MANETs do not have a specific network infrastructure. It is a collection of wireless mobile devices that communicate with each other without the help of any third party backbone like a base-station or a router. It can be hard to imagine how every node in this type of network communicate with one another without having a router. In MANETs, nodes change locations with time, configure themselves and get the information transmitted from source to destination without the help of any router or base station. Hence, for efficient data transmission, it is critical to understand the type of routing that is being used by these networks. Since they have no specific routers to handle these tasks, it can be a monumental task for the nodes to efficiently determine a path to forward and route their packets when they are at constant motion. This research makes a comprehensive performance analysis of the various mobile ad-hoc routing protocols. Over 160 simulation scenarios have been conducted and as many as 6 performance parameters are analyzed and compared in three different scales of network to make it a comprehensive analysis. Significant work is done in this area for more than a decade and researchers around the world have come up with a wide range of results. In this research, the results from previous work are taken into account for comparison and a wide analysis is made to carve out the most efficient routing algorithm under various mobility scenarios. All the major proactive and reactive routing protocols viz. Destination sequenced distance vector (DSDV), Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocols are compared in three different phases - mobility, speed and network load. Simulation results show that dynamic source routing protocol (DSR) performs the best in small networks while ad-hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol performs the best in medium and large networks. Although OLSR fails to cope with the level of AODV, it can be a superior protocol having demonstrated comparable performance to AODV and its proactive nature of routing packets.

A Performance Analysis of Routing Protocols for Ad-hoc Networks


Book Description

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. The performance of MANET is related to the efficiency of the routing protocols in adapting to frequently changing network topology and link status. This thesis addresses the issue by comparing the relative performance of three key ad-hoc routing protocols: Destination-sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR). The protocols are tested based on two scenarios, namely, tactical networks for ships and sensor-based network nodes. The objective is to validate the scalability and effectiveness of the protocols. Four performance metrics were measured by varying the maximum speed of mobile hosts, network size and traffic load, to assess the routing capability and protocol efficiency. The simulation results indicate that AODV performs better than OSLR and DSDV in the first scenario. Although OLSR also performed relatively well, the associated high routing overhead is the dominant reason for not choosing it. On the other hand, OLSR emerged as the protocol of choice for sensor networks, where the high routing overhead is counteracted by consistently better performance in all other metrics. Due to the slow evolution of the sensor network topology, OLSR performed satisfactorily for best effort traffic but needed subtle adjustments to balance between latency and bandwidth to meet the requirements of delay-sensitive applications. Lastly, default parameters of OLSR were tweaked and recommendations were made with results that showed promising ways to further improve the performance of OLSR in sensor networks, albeit not as significantly as in the tactical networks for the ship case.

Performance Analysis of Mobile Ad Hoc Networking Routing Protocols


Book Description

This thesis presents a simulation and performance evaluation analysis of the various routing protocols that have been proposed for the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) environment using the Network Simulator-2 (NS-2) tool. Many routing protocols have been proposed by the academic communities for possible practical implementation of a MANET in military, governmental and commercial environments. Four (4) such routing protocols were chosen for analysis and evaluation: Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector routing (DSDV) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR). NS-2 is developed and maintained by the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute (ISI). Leveraging on NS-2 s simulation capabilities, the key performance indicators of the routing protocols were analyzed such as data network throughput, routing overhead generation, data delivery delay as well as energy efficiency or optimization. The last metric is explored, especially due to its relevance to the mobile environment. Energy is a scare commodity in a mobile ad hoc environment. Any routing software that attempts to minimize energy usage will prolong the livelihood of the devices used in the battlefield. Three important mobility models are considered, namely, Random Waypoint, Manhattan Grid, and Reference Point Group Mobility. The application of these three models will enhance the realism of simulation to actual real life mobility in an urban or military setup scenario. The performance of the routing protocols in varied node density, mobility speed as well as loading conditions have been studied. The results of the simulation will provide invaluable insights to the performance of the selected routing protocols. This can serve as a deciding factor for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in their selection of the most suitable routing protocols tailored to their specific needs.
