Performance Analysis of Hybrid Routing Protocol in Mobile Adhoc Networks

An ad hoc network is a wireless and infrastructure less network. Various routing protocols have been discussed so far to improve the routing performance and reliability. A detail study shows that performance of on demand Routing protocols AODV and DSR are better than table driven protocols .AODV and DSR still suffer some short coming problems due to longer set up time in case of link failure and scalability problem due to more routing overhead .In our work Hybrid protocol by combining DSR and AODV is implemented to overcome these problems .Simulation is carried out to check the performance of protocol in terms of packet delivery ratio, Packet miss ratio, throughput, end to end delay , routing overhead and energy consumption under the stressed conditions of node mobility and node density. The simulations are carried out by using MATLAB.
