Productivity Analysis of Reactive Routing Protocol for IEEE 802.11e standard using QualNet Simulator

The continuous improvement of sensor skill and wireless communication is encouraging wireless sensor networking. The IEEE 802.11e Medium Access Control (MAC) is upcoming standard of IEEE to support Quality of Service (QoS). The IEEE 802.11e MAC enhances the basic 802.11 MAC to provide quality-of-service support for audio and video streams. The 802.11e MAC defines a new Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF), which provides an Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) method and an HCF Controlled Channel Access (HCCA) method. Some recent work can prove that 802.11e Hybrid Coordinate Function (HCF) can improve significantly the quality of service (QoS) in 802.11 networks. The HCF scheduling algorithm is only for Constant Bit Rate (CBR) characteristics. In this paper we investigate the performance of 802.11e through computer simulations. We design a scenario and analysis the performance metrics of Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocols for IEEE 802.11e standards. Performance metrics like throughput, average end-to-end delay, average jitter, energy consumed in transmit and received modes, which is carried out using
