Abstract


MANET (Mobile ADHOC Network) is a self organizing and self configuring network without the need of any centralized base station. In MANETs, the nodes are mobile and battery operated. As the nodes have limited battery resources and multi hop routes are used over a changing network environment due to node mobility, it requires energy efficient routing protocols to limit the power consumption, prolong the battery life and to improve the robustness of the system. This paper addresses issues pertaining to three different routing protocols Destination Sequenced Distance vector (DSDV), ADHOC Om Demand Multipath Distance Vector Routing (AOMDV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocols, which are used for efficient routing under different scenarios in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET), which plays a critical role in places where wired network are neither available nor economical to deploy. My objective was to implement the two routing protocols using Network Simulators and run it for different number of nodes. Then I compared the two routing protocols for different network parameters and studied the efficient protocol under a particular scenario on the basis of two metrics. Packet delivery ratio and Routing load DSDV is a Proactive gateway discovery algorithm where the gateway periodically broadcasts a gateway advertisement message which is transmitted after expiration of the gateways timer. DSR is a Reactive gateway discovery algorithm where a mobile device of MANET connects by gateway only when it is needed. Simulation results show that AOMDV performs better than DSDV, respectively in packet delivery ratio and AOMDV, DSR both perform better than DSDV in terms of average End-To-End Delay.
