The research on mobile ad hoc networks is intensively attracted by the research community due to their good characteristic of multi-hop wireless connectivity and energetically altering network topology. It collects infrastructure less mobile nodes building a temporary network without any centralized administration. So far, numbers of ad hoc routing protocols were developed and executed. The simulation work has been performed to access the performance of ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV), dynamic source routing (DSR) and wireless routing protocol (WRP). Hence, GloMoSim simulator was used to perform the simulations. The author adopted two dissimilar scenarios, namely, 50 and 100 nodes, with rectangular area sizes of 1500 × 1000 and 2000 × 1500 m 2 , respectively, to estimate the impact of network size on the performances. Simulation findings demonstrated that for definite differentials, WRP shows an enhanced performance than the other two protocols such as DSR and AODV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
