This paper describes a simulation based performance analysis of DSR on the basis of comparison between 802.11 and CSMA protocols. Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) provides simple and efficient routing for multihop ad-hoc network of mobile nodes. It utilises a specially designed framework which builds on the Global Mobile Information System Simulator (GloMoSim). Some optimizations of DSR ha...

Energy consumption is the most challenging issue in routing protocol design for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), since mobile nodes are battery powered. Furthermore, replacing or recharging batteries is often impossible in critical environments such as in military or rescue missions. In a MANET, the energy depletion of a node does not affect the node itself only, but the overall network lifetim...

We introduce WRP-Lite, which is a table-driven routing protocol that uses non-optimal routes, and compare its performance with the performance of the dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol, which is an on-demand routing protocol for wireless ad-hoc networks. We evaluate the performance of WRP-Lite and DSR for varying degree of mobility and traffic in a 20-node network. The performance parameters...

Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) has been accepted Itself as one of the distinguished and dominant routing protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). From various performance analysis and results, it is shown that DSR has been an outstanding routing protocol that outperforms consistently than any other routing protocols. But it could not pervade the same place when the performance was ...

The Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) is a simple and efficient routing protocol designed specifically for use in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes. DSR allows the network to be completely self-organizing and self-configuring, without the need for any existing network infrastructure or administration. The protocol is composed of the two mechanisms of Route Discovery and Rou...

The Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (DSR) is an efficient routing protocol proposed and designed especially for multi-hop Wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Networks. The protocol automatically discovers (“Route Discovery”) and maintains (“Route Maintenance”) the routing in the network by storing source routes, discovered dynamically only when necessary, thus requiring no administration from the network op...

Today in fast technology development in wireless mobile adhoc network there is vast scope for research. As it is known that wireless communication for mobile network has many application areas like routing services, security services etc. The mobile adhoc network is the wireless network for communication in which the mobile nodes are organized without any centralized administrator. There are ma...

High overhead involved in flooding while route creation is a limiting factor of Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol applied for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). During data delivery, it seems that we fully benefit from DSR if the route is not long enough. In this paper, we propose two modifications of DSR algorithm to enhance its performance. In the modified approach of DSR, to reduce broadca...

-Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are the set of wireless nodes that can communicate with each other and forwarding each other’s packets. WMNs are multi-hop networks consisting of routers, gateways and mobile nodes, they aim at guarantee connectivity. They act as a key technology for next generation WMNs due to their low cost and relative ease of deployment they are an attractive paradigm and are ...

We approach the problem of load balancing for wireless multi-hop networks by distributed optimisation. We implement an approximation algorithm for minimising the maximum network congestion as a modification to the DSR routing protocol. The algorithm is based on shortest-path computations that are integrated into the DSR route discovery and maintenance process. The resulting Balanced Multipath S...
