Group Mobility Model Based Proactive and Reactive Routing Protocol in Manet

Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a dynamic network Topology without the aid of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Each node participating in the network acts as a host and as a router , means they have to forward packets and identify route as well. Random way point is the most common mobility model in most of the simulation based studies of various MANET routing protocols.The Group Mobility Model has been generated by Impact of Mobility Patterns on Routing in Ad-hoc Network(IMPORTANT). In the present communication, we have analyzed the Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Average End to End delay, Average Throughput, Normalized Routing Load (NRL) and number of Drop packets in CBR and TCP traffic models using routing protocols namely AODV and DSDV. Research efforts have focused much in evaluating their performance with same number of nodes but divided in different number of groups. Simulations has been carried out using NS-2 simulator.
