Analysis of effect of mobility and transmission power on AODV and DSR in mobile Adhoc network

Abstract

Now a days there is a remarkable growth in telecommunication technology which makes users of mobile electronic devices accessible to a communication network. These electronic devices are nothing but the nodes of the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). Each node can move from one place to other during communication and this mobility is having its effect on performance of the network. Mobility changes when speed of the node and pause time with which it moves changes. Change in mobility causes break of link with neighboring nodes as a result of which the performance of a network may be reduced. A number of packets are dropped at different layers of the network. This paper describes the analysis of change in performance due to change in mobility and transmission power. The parameters describing the reason of variation in performance are (1) number of link breaks and (2) number of packet delivered. (3)End to end delay. The simulator we have used in our work for the calculation of performance matrices is GLOMOSIM. The performance comparison has also made between two types of on demand routing protocols AODV and DSR.
