This paper evaluates the performance of two prominent on-demand routing protocols, which are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) for wireless sensor networks. Results obtained from simulations demonstrates that even though DSR and AODV share a similar on-demand behavior, the differences in the protocol mechanics can lead to significant performance di...

Streaming multimedia applications over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) create new challenges to routing protocols in terms of stringent performance requirements. Many routing protocols that have been proposed in the past could not completely address these issues. In the present paper, the original DSR protocol is modified to provide multi-path data transfer during the periods of congestion. NS-...

Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that are arbitrarily located so that the interconnections between nodes are dynamically changing. In MANET mobile nodes forms a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. A routing protocol is used to find routes between mobile nodes to facilitate communication within the n...

The various routing protocols in Mobile Ad hoc Networks follow different strategies to send the information from one node to another. The nodes in the network are non static and they move randomly and are prone to link failure which makes always to find new routes to the destination. This research mainly focused on the study of the characteristics of multipath routing protocols in MANETS. Two o...

Route cache strategy is important in an on demand routing protocol in wireless mobile ad hoc networks. In on demand routing protocol the route discovery mechanism is used to transmit packets from one mobile node to other. In order to avoid such route discovery mechanism each time when the packet is transmitted, the route caching technique is used. Route caching is the major approach to decrease...

This work evaluates the performance of three well known routing protocols in mobile ad-hoc networks, namely Ad-hoc On demand Distance Vector Protocol (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA). Two scenarios were created using OPNET and extensive simulations were made on each scenario to evaluate the performance of the three protocols. Results were pres...

today, one of the new technologies in the modern era is vehicular ad-hoc network which has takenenormous attention in the recent years. because of rapid topology changing and frequent disconnectionmakes it difficult to design an efficient routing protocol for routing data between vehicles, called v2v orvehicle to vehicle communication and vehicle to roadside infrastructure, called v2i. designin...

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a self-configuring infrastructure less network of mobile devices connected by wireless links. In this network technology, simulative analysis is a significant method to understand the performance of routing protocols. In this paper three protocols AODV, DSDV and DSR were simulated using Manhattan Grid Mobility Model. The reactive (AODV, DSR) and proactive (DSD...

A MANET is an autonomous collection of mobile users that communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. When designing mobile ad hoc networks, several interesting and difficult problems arise because of the shared nature of the wireless medium, limited transmission power (range) of wireless devices, node mobility, and battery limitations. This paper aims at providing a new sc...

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a dynamic and self organized network, which is a collection of wireless mobile nodes (hosts) communicating with each other without any predefined infrastructure or centralized administration. Because of mobility of nodes there is no fixed topology and it may result to frequent link breakage. The primary goal of any ad-hoc network routing protocol is to meet the ...
