Performance evaluation of dynamic source routing protocol with variation in transmission power and speed

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a set of mobile wireless nodes (devices) which is not rely on a fixed infrastructure. In MANETs, each device is responsible for routing its data according to a specific routing protocol. The three most common MANET routing protocols are: dynamic source routing protocol (DSR), optimized link state routing protocol (OLSR), and ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV). This paper proposes an efficient evaluation of DSR protocol by testing the MANETs routing protocol with variation in transmission power at different speeds. The performance analysis has been given using optimized network engineering tools (OPNET) modeler simulations and evaluated using metrics of average end to end delay and throughput. The results show that the throughput increases as the transmission power increases up to a certain value after which the throughput decreases, also the network work optimally at a certain transmission power which varied at different speed

Performance Analysis between OLSR and FSR Protocols under Black Hole Attack Using FPGA

Security is an important part of wireless ad hoc network or mobile ad hoc network. A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructure less category of wireless network. Routing protocols in Mobile ad hoc network is divided into three categories, Reactive (also known as on demand) routing protocol, Proactive (also known as table driven) routing protocol and Hybrid protocol. Security is an important part in MANET because when we send data source node to destination node in mobile ad hoc network, we want protection in path between source to destination and complete transfer data packet between source node to destination node. In this research paper we use two proactive routing protocol known as OLSR (Optimized Link state Routing) Protocol and FSR (Fisheye State Routing) Protocol. OLSR is a flat routing and Unipath protocol based on multipoint relay not multipath. FSR is a hierarchical routing and multipath protocol based on multiple paths. In this research work we check the performance of these two protocols under five different performance matrices known as Packet delivery ratio (PDR), Packet loss (PL), Average end to end delay (AEED), Normalized Routing load (NRL) and Throughput on black hole attack. Black hole attack is an active attack, in this attack attacker node absorbs the data packet and give the fake reply. In this research paper we analysis the performance two protocol one is unipath known as OLSR and second is Multipath known as FSR under Black hole Attack. The performance of FSR is better than OLSR, because OLSR is unipath and maximum data packet is absorbs in OLSR single path. FSR is better because FSR is Multipath and minimum data packet is absorbs in FSR multi path

Comparative Study of Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad-hoc networks

In this paper, we describe the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR), a proactive routing protocol for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs). We evaluate its performance through exhaustive simulations using the Network Simulator 2 (ns2), and compare with other ad-hoc protocols, specifically the Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol and the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol. We study the protocols under varying conditions (node mobility, network density) and with varying traffic (TCP, UDP, different number of connections/streams) to provide a qualitative assessment of the applicability of the protocols in different scenarios

A simulation based performance comparison of routing protocol on Mobile Ad-hoc Network (proactive, reactive and hybrid)

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes which dynamically forms a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Recently, there has been a tremendous growth in the sales of laptops, handheld computers, PDA and portable computers. These smaller computers nevertheless can be equipped with megabytes/gigabytes of disk storage, high-resolution color displays, pointing devices and wireless communications adapters. Moreover, since many of these small computers operate for hours with battery power, users are free to move without being constrained by wires. To support such type of scenario MANET has been designed. MANET has several characteristics such as, dynamic topologies, bandwidth-constrained, variable capacity links, energyconstrained operation and limited physical security. There are three types of routing protocols in MANET such as Proactive, Reactive, and Hybrid. In this paper, a detailed simulation based performance study and analysis is performed on these types of routing protocols over MANET. Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), and Dynamic MANET On-demand (DYMO) routing protocol (reactive), Optimized Link State Routing protocol (OLSR) (proactive) and Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) is (hybrid) have been considered in this paper for the investigation and their relative performance is reported

An Optimized Node Selection Routing Protocol for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks – A Hybrid Model

Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are a subset of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks made by vehicles communicating among themselves on roadways. The Routing protocols implemented for MANETs such as Ad-hoc on Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Destination Sequence Distance Vector Routing Protocol (DSDV) are not suitable for VANET due to high Mobility. Trusted routing in VANET is a challenging task due to highly dynamic network topology and openness of wireless architecture. To avoid a frequent communication link failure, to reduce the communication overhead and to provide a trusted routing among the vehicular nodes for achieving high packet transmission, we implemented an Optimized Node Selection Routing protocol (ONSRP) of VANET based on Trust. In our proposed work, we implemented an enhanced routing protocol which prevents the network from communication link failure frequently. The testing results stated that the ONSRP routing have a high performance measures than the above mentioned existing routing protocols

A Survey of MANET Routing Protocols in Large-Scale and Ordinary Networks

An ad hoc network (MANET) consists of mobile nodes that communicate with each other. Routing in ad hoc network is a challenging task because nodes are mobile. Efficient routing protocols have better performance in such networks. Many protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks such as: Ad hoc on-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Geographic routing protocol (GRP). these approaches have not been evaluated for the same conditions in pervious researches. But in this study, the performance of these protocols is evaluated in various network conditions and with different packet size patterns. Also, different MAC layers like 802.11b, 802.11g in ordinary and large-scale networks are considered. For the evaluation, Different metrics like packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, Mac delay and Routing traffic received/sent, are applied. All simulations have been done using OPNET

Performance Evaluation of MANET Routing Protocols: Simulations and Experiments

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile terminals that are able to dynamically form a temporary network without any aid from fixed infrastructure or centralized administration. In this paper, we present the implementation and analysis of our implemented MANET testbed and simulation system considering Ad-hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocols for wireless multi-hop networking. We investigate the effect of mobility and topology changing in MANET. We evaluate and compare the performance by simulation (using ns-2 simulator) and experiments in a real environment. In this work, we consider two models: stationary and mobile. We assess the performance of our testbed and simulation in terms of throughput, number of received packets and hop distance. From the results, we found that the AODV protocol has a good performance when the relay node is moving. Also, the AODV protocol provides a flexible and effective routing for indoor environments

QoS analysis of the MANET routing protocols with respect to delay, throughput, & network load: Challenges and open issues

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are types of wireless networks that communicate with mobile devices without centralized infrastructures. MANET networks are established through interconnected devices that communicate wirelessly within a relatively small, shared area. In MANET every single mobile node is presumed to travel in all directions at different speeds with challenges and open issues. Hence there is no guaranteed long-term path from one node to the next. This work proposes testing the three most common ad hoc routing protocols Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) using Optimized Network Engineering Tool (OPNET) Modeler simulations using the performance metrics of Throughput, Delay, and Network loading to find an effective routing protocol for routing. The traffic network is used by the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Digital Education, Battlefield, Surveillance and Security Agencies may benefit from the research work. MANETs reduced the costs of installation, maintenance and operation of such facilities as base stations and also reduced the risk to a minimum such as pollution. The outcome of the simulation shows that: according to the AODV and DSR, the lowest delay in 50 nodes was around 31.25 seconds respectively. And OLSR also had a high throughput performance of around 80 per cent compared with AODV and DSR. And it can be concluded that OLSR is the most suitable routing protocol for MANET, based on the routing protocols suggested

Performance Analysis of Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols Using ns-3 Simulations

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) consist of mobile nodes that can communicate with each other through wireless links without reliance on any infrastructure. The dynamic topology of MANETs poses a significant challenge for the design of routing protocols. Many routing protocols have been developed to discover routes in MANETs through various mechanisms such as source, distance vector, and link state routing. In this thesis, we present a comprehensive performance comparison of several prominent MANET routing protocols. The protocols studied are Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector (DSDV), Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector protocol (AODV), and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). We consider a range of network dynamicity and node density, model three mobility models: Steady-State Random Waypoint (SS-RWP), Gauss-Markov (G-M), and Lévy Walk, and use ns-3 to evaluate their performance on metrics such as packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and routing overhead. We believe this study will be helpful for the understanding of mobile routing dynamics, the improvement of current MANET routing protocols, and the development of new protocols

Voice Traffic over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: A Performance Analysis of the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol

This thesis investigates the performance of the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Using VoIP over MANETs takes advantage of the mobility and versatility of a MANET environment and the flexibility and interoperability a digital voice format affords. Research shows that VoIP-like traffic can be routed through an ad hoc network using the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol. This research determines the suitability of OLSR as a routing protocol for MANETs running VoIP applications. Representative VoIP traffic is submitted to a MANET and end-to-end delay and packet loss are observed. Node density, number of data streams and mobility are varied creating a full-factorial experimental design with 18 distinct scenarios. The MANET is simulated in OPNET and VoIP traffic is introduced using one source node to send traffic to random destinations throughout the network. Simulation results indicate delay is between 0.069 ms to 0.717 ms, which is significantly lower than the recommended 150 ms threshold for VoIP applications. Packet loss is between 0.32% and 9.97%, which is less than the 10% allowable packet loss for acceptable VoIP quality. Thus OLSR is a suitable routing protocol for MANETs running VoIP applications
