Hrudya K. P., Prabhakar Gupta, Brajesh Kumar . Impact of Mobility on Different Routing Approaches in MANETs. International Journal of Computer Applications. 67, 23 ( April 2013), 18-22. DOI=10.5120/11535-7296
In mobile ad hoc networks, the movement of the mobile nodes is one of the important characteristics because it can affect the performance of the routing protocol. The mobility pattern directly influences when communication links between nodes are established or broken, which is associated with the network topology. In this paper, the impact of the different mobility models on the performance of different routing approaches has been studied. AODV, DSR, LAR, and OLSR are taken as the candidate protocols for this purpose. The performance of these protocols is evaluated and analyzed for different mobility models like RWP, RPGM, GM and MH through simulation. The performance metrics like packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, normalized routing load, and throughput are evaluated for these protocols using network simulator NS2 under different scenarios.
