Simulation based Analysis of AODV Routing Protocol in Ad Hoc Network under different Mobility and Propagation Loss Models using NS-3

Abstract

Mobile ad hoc network is an infrastructure-less network, that consist of mobile nodes, with the ability to communicate with each other without any centralized unit. The main features of MANETs are, wireless medium, dynamic topology, distributed cooperation, vulnerable to many security attacks and data loss because of the mobility of nodes.Many routing protocols have been developed for MANET, but ad hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is preferred as the best routing protocol for MANET, because it minimizes the routing overhead more than the other protocols and hence improves the performance of the network. In this article, we have analyzed and evaluated the performance of Nakagami propagation loss model and Friis propagation loss model under different mobility scenario at different speeds to measure the performance parameter such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Throughput and Packet loss, the routing protocol used in are research is AODV.

AODV routing protocol performance assessment for wireless sensor network scenarios

“…The AODV simulation model used in this work is based on the implementation of the protocol carried out by the research group Kumar et al (2018) 34 . The network has been evaluated under the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for two different scenarios that include stationary conditions, different spatial distributions of the nodes and different collision models.…”
