Performance Analysis of Power-Aware Node-Disjoint Multipath Source Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

Since 2000, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks are treated as the emerging filed in the wireless communication. They comprise only mobile nodes that use wireless transmission and can be set anywhere and anytime because they eliminate complexity of infrastructure and central admission. The Mobile Ad Hoc Networks are extensively used in different fields such as emergency situations, military applications and mobile communications. The routing is the major issue in the field of MANET due to the mobility nature and lack of infrastructure of the network. The different routing protocols have been proposed to address the routing issue. The development of multipath routing for mobile ad hoc network by considering the performance metrics with standard simulator is an important research area. Hence in this paper, we have chosen Power-aware Node-disjoint Multipath Source Routing (PNDMSR) to implement and analyze its performance with respective to Multipath Dynamic Source Routing (MDSR) by using various quantitative performance metrics like, routing control overhead, throughput, packet delivery ratio, packet loss and energy efficiency by varying various parameters like network's size, mobility of node, pause time, data rate and load. The main objective of the PNDMSR is selecting energy aware node-disjoint multipath from source to destination by optimizing the overhead using node's cost and it increases the network of lifetime.
