Analysis and simulation of three MANET routing protocols: A research on AODV, DSR & DSDV characteristics and their performance evaluation

Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network allows electronic devices to independently configure the communication; even if the device changes its position, the (MANET) can maintain the connectivity among the devices since it has the capability to arrange a temporary network dynamically. The lack of central infrastructure and the freedom of mobile nodes to move randomly will create several problems, like routing and security issues. MANET requires a stable routing algorithm to adapt to the network that changes its topology randomly at any time. Several studies were conducted with different scenarios to suggest the best protocol for routing. However, a clear performance evaluation is still a missing part, because the dissimilarities in the mechanism of the protocol can lead to important performance differences. This article provides a performance assessment of (DSR), (DSDV), and (AODV) protocols. Research results and the evaluation of the network are made based on network size, mobility, and variable network load by using NS2 application for simulation. The results reveal that the (AODV, DSR) are more efficient than DSDV and reasonably more proper for ad-hoc applications and projects.

Performance Evaluation and Discrimination of AODV and AOMDV VANET Routing Protocols Based on RRSE Technique 

“…The latency for DSR in all scenarios is the minimum, whereas the AODV verified the maximum latency for the real world and the grid scenarios. The paper [11] developed the mobility model of DSDV based on speed nodes variation. The results proved that as the nodes speed increased both PDR and throughput gave a poor performance.…”

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

“…It is the measure of the number of packets or data successfully transmitted to their final destination via a communication link per unit time [5] as shown in figure (4).…”

“…When the node receives such a message and already route is present to the preferred node, afterward it sends a message backwards throughout the provisional route to the requesting node. As a result, AODV does not load any extra protocol over data packets because it doesn't use resource routing [17], [4].…”

Performance Evaluation of Data Dissemination Protocols for Connected Autonomous Vehicles

“…The mobility model based on varying speed of nodes was simulated in [38] in which the DSDV was used as the routing protocol. The performance was evaluated based on PDR and throughput.…”

“…The previous studies focus only on a single environment that only deals with a specific area of ITS, such as in [32], [35], [37], the simulations are performed in a city environment. In [34], a small crossroad is considered for experiments and in [38], a highway is considered for simulations. Based on it, we have included all these traffic scenarios in the experiments so that the performance of protocols in each of these scenarios can be investigated and to assure the QoS of VANETs.…”
