A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a self-configuring network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links to form an arbitrary topology without the use of existing infrastructure. In this paper, we have studied the effects of various mobility models on the performance of two routing protocols Dynamic Source Routing (DSR-Reactive Protocol) and Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector (DSDV-Proactiv...

Routing protocols in most ad hoc networks use the length of paths as the routing metric. Recent findings have revealed that the minimum-hop metric can not achieve the maximum throughput because it tries to reduce the number of hops by containing long range links, where packets need to be transmitted at the lowest transmission rate. In this paper, we investigate the tradeoff between transmission...

A major issue with ad-hoc networks is energy consumption since nodes are usually mobile and battery-operated. In this project we compared the performance of ad-hoc routing protocols in a network where each participating mobile node has a given battery life and will shut-down when a threshold is reached. We studied two routing protocols, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Destination-Sequenced Di...

Collection of mobile nodes forms Mobile Ad hoc network. It has the property to change according to changing topology due to the lack of centralized control. The nodes act as a sender and receiver both and communicate with each other through various protocols. Thus there is a need to analyse the pre-existing MANET protocols to find the best suited one for the application purpose. As in paper [1]...

We introduce a new bee-inspired routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. Emphasis is given to the ability of bees to evaluate paths by considering several quality factors. In order to achieve similar behaviour in the networking environment, BeeIP is using cross-layering. Fetching parameters from the lower PHY and MAC layers to the core of the protocol, offers the artificial bees the ability...

A Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) is a group of mobile nodes which cooperate in forwarding packets in a multi-hop fashion without any centralized administration. One of its key challenges is routing. Many routing protocols for MANET have been proposed and the protocols can be classified as proactive routing and on demand routing protocols. This paper uses ns-2 as the simulation tool, 802.11 as ...

A wireless MANET is a collection of communication nodes that wants to communicate with each other, but has no fixed infrastructure and no re-determined topology of links. Mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a network topology without the use of any existing network infrastructure. The purpose of the present work is to compare the performance of AOD...
