Advances in wireless technology and portable computing along with demands for greater user mobility have provided a major movement towards development of ad-hoc networks. The main Method for evaluating the performance of MANET’s is simulation. An extensive simulation is performed using NS-2 simulator and end to end delay, packet delivery ratio, packet loss ratio, throughput and jitter for React...

Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) is an infrastructure less mobile network where the nodes communicate with each other inspite of frequent changes in network topology due to mobility, interference and highly error prone environment. Each node operates not only as an end system but also as a router to forward packets. The nodes are liberated to travel and systematize themselves into a network. The v...

The latest technology MANETs is being studied widely and attracting a large variety of applications. Due to varying network topology, The most common challenging factor in MANET is routing [2][3]. In this research paper, we study the performance of reactive routing protocols, Ad hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and proactive routing protocol Destination Sequ...

Mobile ad hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes communicating through wireless channels without any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Because of the limited transmission range of wireless network interfaces, multiple "hops" may be needed to exchange data across the network. Consequently, many routing algorithms have come into existence to satisfy the needs of ...

In this paper, we present a method to compute the path bandwidth for the DSDV-based routing algorithm. The addressed network does not necessarily have a cellular structure and could have no fixed infrastructure. This network can be either stand-alone, or connected to the wired network. Each mobile station has to relay packets for others, thus achieving multihop routing. To calculate the availab...

School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences University of Greenwich London, United Kingdom {ie903, et701, M.Ghassemian}@greenwich.ac.uk This work is a simulation based comparison of three Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) routing protocols – Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Ad hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). The comparison is based on their pe...

The primary objective of this research work is to study and review the behavior of AODV, TORA and DSDV routing protocols of MANET. In this paper, we will first discuss the various MANET routing protocols and then simulate the environment used for analyzing, evaluating and implementing AODV, DSDV and TORA routing protocols in MANET. Performance of above said protocols will be analyzed based on P...

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less and decentralized network which need a robust dynamic routing protocol. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far to find optimized routes from source to the destination and prominent among them are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV), and Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSD...

In recent years, mobile sensor networks (MSNs) have become a hot area of research, in which sensor nodes are mobile. The proper selection of a routing protocol in a MSN is very important because network performance is significantly influenced by the routing protocol. In this paper, the feasibility of the two routing protocols in MSNs is studied and discussed with respect to network performance....

MANET(Mobile Adhoc Network) is a self organizing and self configuring network without the need of any centralized base station. In MANETs, the nodes are mobile and battery operated. As the nodes have limited battery resources and multi hop routes are used over a changing network environment due to node mobility, it requires energy efficient routing protocols to limit the power consumption ,prol...
