Network performance analysis of MANET routing protocols with various mobility models

Abstract

Technological advances in the domains of artificial intelligence, wireless sensor networks, and mobile robotics engineering have moved the domain of scientific fiction onto unmanned/automated frameworks in the present front lines. Versatile robots perform complex tasks in an efficient way than a solitary robot. The high density of robustly networked robots is required to explore an area in military applications with less duration. Hence in such situations, to explore the area we should generally consider the mobility of robots for evaluating the network performance. Thus in this paper, various network layer algorithms such as AODV, DSR, DSDV and OLSR is simulated in NS-2.35 for different mobility models. Moreover, to evaluate the performance of a network, parameters such as throughput, latency, and overhead are considered. Results infer that DSDV and OLSR perform better in RWPMM and GMMM providing high throughput and less delay.
