A mobile Ad-hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless nodes aimed at information exchange and resource sharing. The Destination Sequence Distance Vector (DSDV) a well-known and widely used protocol for MANETs. This paper presents the comparative performance analysis of TCP and UDP (two transport layer protocols) over DSDV in a Mobile Ad hoc Network. Three performance metrics: throughput, ...

The MANET routing protocols DSDV, DSR and AODV are the most promising routing protocols. They can be used in MANET to route packets between mobile nodes. The main objective of this paper comparing the performance of DSDV, DSR and AODV routing protocols under different performance metrics like Throughput, Packet delivery ratio, Path optimality, Packets Delay (Jitter), Packets lost, etc. This pap...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET’s) have become increasingly popular in infrastructure-less mobile wireless communication system. Nodes of these kinds of networks function as a router which discovers and maintains the route to the other nodes in the networks. Route discovery and packet forwarding operations need an efficient routing protocol. Ad-Hoc on Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol (AODV...

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a self-configuring network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links, to form an arbitrary topology. The nodes are free to move randomly. Thus the network's wireless topology may be unpredictable and may change rapidly .Due to varying mobility characteristics; there is a significant impact on the performance of the routing protocols. There are various Mobili...

Routing protocols are responsible for providing reliable communication between the source and destination nodes. The performance of these in ad hoc network family is influenced by several factors such as mobility model, traffic load, transmission range, number mobile nodes which represents a great issue. Several simulation studies have explored routing protocol with parameters, but few relate t...

Most interesting area is the growing demand of flying-IoT mergers with smart cities. However, aerial vehicles, especially unmanned vehicles (UAVs), have limited capabilities for maintaining node energy efficiency. In order to communicate effectively, IoT a key element While improving network performance, routing protocols can be deployed in improve latency, packet drop rate, delivery, power uti...

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically form a network temporarily without any support of central administration. Moreover, Every node in MANET moves arbitrarily making the multi-hop network topology to change randomly at unpredictable times. There are several familiar routing protocols like DSDV, AODV, DSR, etc... which have been proposed for pro...

In the artificial disaster field, Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) routing is considered a challenging task because of the unpredictable changes in the network topology due to the absence of any centralized control. This routing has led to the development of several different routing protocols for MANET. Thus, it is hard to decide which of these protocols act better than the others. The objectives...

We investigate packet loss in mobile ad hoc networks via simulation. Ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) and destination-sequenced distance vector (DSDV) are chosen as representatives of the on-demand and proactive routing protocols respectively. The effects of congestion and mobility in various network contexts are explored. The results indicate that DSDV loses 10% to 20% more packets than...
