Effects of Velocity on Performance of DYMO, AODV and DSR Routing Protocols in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

Abstract

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices (nodes) where nodes communicate with each other using multi-hop wireless links. This paper, analyses the effect of mobility on performance of three MANET on-demand routing protocols i.e. Dynamic Manet On-Demand (DYMO), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Victor Routing Protocol (AODV). The performance metrics for analysis consists of different parameters such as throughput, packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay and average jitter. We used EXata/Cyber 1.2 from scalable networks for simulation of these protocols.
