The Impact of Mobility and Node Density on MANET Routing Protocols

S. Deepa, Dr. Kadhar Nawaz

Abstract


Mobility and node density are the two major factors which has much influence on the performance of any routing protocol of mobile adhoc network.  Several previous works [1, 2, 3, 4, 13] highlighted this fact. In this paper, we will evaluate some of the widely used MANET routing protocols with different mobility and network density.

The proposed evaluation will be made on MANET routing protocols DSDV, DSR and AODV which are readily available in network simulator- ns2. The performance of these protocols will be measured with suitable metrics.
