Khushboo Singh, N. S. Killarikar . Assessment of Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Routing Protocols in Increasing number of Mobile Nodes Scenario. International Conference on Advances in Communication and Computing Technologies 2012. ICACACT, 1 (August 2012), 31-36.
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are advanced wireless communication networks consisting of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. Mobile nodes in MANETs are usually laptops, PDAs or mobile phones. In this paper an attempt has been made to describe the characteristics of MANETs, and analyze and compare the performance of ad-hoc routing protocols (AODV, OLSR, DSR and TORA) using OPNET Modeler. Representative traffic is submitted to the simulated MANET and the performance of different routing protocols has been analyzed by two parameters: delay and throughput for four different scenarios having 3, 5, 15, and 30 mobile nodes. Delay in case of AODV is minimum and maximum in TORA. Throughput is maximum in case of AODV and minimum in TORA. Thus AODV gives the best all round performance for MANETs.
