Analysis and Modeling Experiment Performance Parameters of Routing Protocols in MANETs and VANETs

In this paper, a framework for experimental parameters in which Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), effect of link duration over End-to-End Delay (E2ED) and Normalized Routing Overhead (NRO) in terms of control packets is analyzed and modeled for Mobile Ad-Hoc NETworks (MANETs) and Vehicular Ad-Hoc NETworks (VANETs) with the assumption that nodes (vehicles) are sparsely moving in two different road. Moreover, this paper contributes the performance comparison of one Proactive Routing Protocol; Destination Sequenced Distance vector (DSDV) and two reactive protocols; DYnamic Source Routing (DSR) and DYnamic MANET On-Demand (DYMO). A novel contribution of this work is enhancements in default versions of selected routing protocols. Three performance parameters; PDR, E2ED and NRO with varying scalabilities are measured to analyze the performance of selected routing protocols with their original and enhanced versions. From extensive simulations, it is observed that DSR outperforms among all three protocols at the cost of delay. NS-2 simulator is used for simulation with TwoRayGround propagation model to evaluate analytical results

Simulation based comparison of routing protocols in wireless multihop adhoc networks

Routing protocols are responsible for providing reliable communication between the source and destination nodes. The performance of these protocols in the ad hoc network family is influenced by several factors such as mobility model, traffic load, transmission range, and the number of mobile nodes which represents a great issue. Several simulation studies have explored routing protocol with performance parameters, but few relate to various protocols concerning routing and Quality of Service (QoS) metrics. This paper presents a simulation-based comparison of proactive, reactive, and multipath routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Specifically, the performance of AODV, DSDV, and AOMDV protocols are evaluated and analyzed in the presence of varying the number of mobile nodes, pause time, and traffic connection numbers. Moreover, Routing and QoS performance metrics such as normalized routing load, routing packet, packet delivery ratio, packet drop, end-to-end delay, and throughput are measured to conduct a performance comparison between three routing protocols. Simulation results indicate that AODV outperforms the DSDV and AOMDV protocols in most of the metrics. AOMDV is better than DSDV in terms of end-to-end delay. DSDV provides lower throughput performance results. Network topology parameters have a slight impact on AODV Performance

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

Analysis of OLSR, DSR, DYMO routing protocols in mobile Ad-Hoc Networks using OMNeT++ Simulation

In present scenario, choosing the routing protocol is vital task in mobile ad-hoc networks. These type of networks is collection of nodes which are connected dynamically and situated without using any infrastructure. There are various types of routing protocols have been implemented such as OLSR, DSR, DYMO, AODV, DSDV, BATMAN etc. These are implemented in specific simulation environments. In this research, an analysis has been done to choose the appropriate routing protocol. A comparison based on relative results is prepared for DYMO, OLSR and DSR protocol. A sample network is simulated to try these three routing protocols over a set of parameters. DYMO and DSR protocols found more difficult and OLSR protocol has better performance in comparison of both DYMO and DSR. This simulation has been carried out using OMNeT++ simulation framewor

The design and performance evaluation of a proactive multipath routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks

Due to unpredictable network topology changes, routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) is an important and challenging research area. The routing protocol should detect and maintain a good route(s) between source and destination nodes in these dynamic networks. Many routing protocols have been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks, and none can be considered as the best under all conditions. This thesis presents the design and implementation of a new proactive multipath MANET routing protocol. The protocol, named Multipath Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (MDSDV), is based on the well known single path Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV). We show that the protocol finds node-disjoint paths, i.e., paths which do not have any nodes in common, except for the source and the destination. The thesis presents a systematic evaluation of MDSDV in comparison with three well known protocols: one proactive (DSDV), and two reactive (AODV) and (DSR). MDSDV behaves very well in terms of its packet delivery fraction and data dropped in both static and dynamic networks. It delivers nearly 100% of data in dense networks (networks with more than 20 nodes). The speed of the nodes and the number of sources have a low impact on its performance

Variable power transmission in highly Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks pose challenges in terms of power control, due to their fixed transmission power, the mobility of nodes and a constantly changing topology. High levels of power are needed in wireless networks, particularly for routing. As a result of the increase in the number of communication devices being used, there is the challenge of increased density within these networks, and a need to extend the battery life of communication devices. In order to address this challenge, this thesis presents the development of a new protocol (Dynamic Power AODV), which is an enhancement of the Ad Hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol. The new protocol dynamically adjusts the transmission power based on the range, which depends on node density. This thesis provides a systematic evaluation of the performance of DP-AODV, in a high speed and high density environment, in comparison with three other routing protocols. The experiments demonstrated that DP-AODV performed better than two of the protocols in all scenarios. As compared to the third protocol (AOMDV), DP-AODV gave better performance results for throughput and Power Consumption, but AOMDV performed better in terms of Packet Delivery Fraction rate and End-to-End Delay in some cases

USING NS-2 COMPARISON OF GEOGRAPHICAL AND TOPOLOGICAL MULTICAST ROUTING PROTOCOLS ON WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS

Performance evaluation of geographical and topological multicast routing algorithms for cellular Wi-Fi ad-hoc networks is offered. Flooding and On-call for Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP) are simulated and in comparison with novels protocols: Topological Multicast Routing (ToMuRo) and Geographical Multicast Routing (GeMuRo) in pedestrian and vehicular situations. The situations evaluated recollect one multicast transmitter and one, two and three multicast receivers under numerous mobility and transmission levels. The conduct of 150 nodes is evaluated in terms of cease to end postpone (EED), jitter, packet delivery ratio, and overhead. Consequences display that ToMuRo is suitable for pedestrian eventualities because of its tree-based structure and GeMuRo is right for vehicular situations because its miles based on a mesh topology

Modeling Enhancements in DSR, FSR, OLSR under Mobility and Scalability Constraints in VANETs

Frequent topological changes due to high mobility is one of the main issues in Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs). In this paper, we model transmission probabilities of 802.11p for VANETs and effect of these probabilities on average transmission time. To evaluate the effect of these probabilities of VANETs in routing protocols, we select Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Fish-eye State Routing (FSR) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR). Framework of these protocols with respect to their packet cost is also presented in this work. A novel contribution of this work is enhancement of chosen protocols to obtain efficient behavior. Extensive simulation work is done to prove and compare the efficiency in terms of high throughput of enhanced versions with default versions of protocols in NS-2. For this comparison, we choose three performance metrics; throughput, End-to-End Delay (E2ED) and Normalized Routing Load (NRL) in different mobilities and scalabilities. Finally, we deduce that enhanced DSR (DSR-mod) outperforms other protocols by achieving 16% more packet delivery for all scalabilities and 28% more throughput in selected mobilities than original version of DSR (DSR-orig)
