A Comparative Review on Routing Protocols in MANET

Abstract

Routing in MANETs is a one of the dynamically and demanding task and has received a great amount of awareness from researchers around the globe. To overcome this problem, a various number of routing classes have been introduced and the number is still rising day by day fastly. It is quite hard to decide which protocols or routing classes may do well under an amount of diverse network scenarios such as network volume and network topology etc. In this paper, we present a summary of a large range of the existing routing classes with a particular focus on their uniqueness and their functionality. Also, the judgment is provided based on the routing functionality and information is used to build routing decisions. The presentation of all the routing protocols or classes is also discussed. Further this study will assist the researchers to get a summary of the existing classes and advice which protocols may execute better with respect to varying between network scenarios.The design of routing protocol for MANET is tricky because of numerous network limitations. MANET experience from the restrictions of several network resources, for examples, energy, bandwidth, processor, and storage. The aim of challenges in sensor networks involves the following main aspects . Dynamic topologyNodes are free to move arbitrarily in any direction thus the topology of the network change unpredictably. Limited BandwidthThe bandwidth available for wireless networks is generally low than that of wired networks. The throughput of these networks is generally low due various noises, fading effects. Energy constrained operationThe nodes are portable devices and are dependent on batteries. This is the most important design consideration of the MANET

Performance Evaluation of MANET Routing Protocols AODV and DSDV Using NS2 Simulator

“…It is the ratio of the total data bits received to total data bits sent from source to destination. [9] Figure (5) show the average packet delivery ratio for AODV and DSDV for all scenarios.…”

“…DSR is however perform excellently than AODV, AMDV, and DSDV in terms of TCP connections. Sharma et al [9] are evaluated the performance of proactive and reactive protocols with different mobility models. Simulation results uncover that proactive protocols perform superior for smaller networks and reactive protocols perform way better for larger networks in terms of the performance metrics such as PDR, delay and bundle misfortune.…”

MANET Performance Measurement of DYMO Routing Protocol by Varying Density and Mobility Speed

“…The main advantage of the hybrid routing protocol is that the proactive routing used for a small distance and reactive routing used for long distance. Routes overlapping and longer delay are the main disadvantages of hybrid routing protocols, and nodes consume more memory and battery [6] With respect to Figure 2, source node 1 wants to communicate with destination node 7. It generates an RREQ packet that contains its own address, sequence number, hop count, a destination address, and broadcasts it on the network.…”

NOIRE study report: Towards a low frequency radio interferometer in space

“…The way the network topology is changing is a dimensioning characteristic of the network, as it implies dynamical reconfiguration of the network and may result into frequent node disconnections. Several classifications of MANET routing algorithms have been proposed (see, e.g., [51] and [52]). The latter reference defines three classes of MANET: proactive, reactive and hybrid networks.…”
