Performance Comparison of Routing Protocols for Mobile Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are becoming increasingly famous because of their easy deployment with minimum infrastructure and occasional operational prices. As a result, routing protocols are a crucial thing of WMNs, and performance metrics, including throughput, throughput equity, and packet shipping ratio, have been extensively used to compare routing protocols. In this technical abstract, we evaluate the overall performance comparison of routing protocols for cell WMNs in terms of the metrics above. The overall performance of routing protocols for cellular WMNs can vary greatly depending on the environment and mobility sample of the nodes. Several routing protocols have been proposed inside the literature, together with advert hoc on-call for distance vector (AODV), dynamic supply routing (DSR), and distance vector routing (DVR). Network simulations are essential. Some works have investigated the performance of AODV, DSR, and DVR in cell WMNs. The consequences of this research display that DSR and AODV have better throughput and throughput fairness than DVR in cellular WMNs. However, the AODV packet delivery ratio is higher than DSR in situations with nodes exhibiting random mobility. In eventualities with mild node mobility, AODV additionally has a fine packet delivery ratio. Additionally, simulations.
