Analysis of Random Way Point and Random Walk Mobility Model for Reactive Routing Protocols for MANET Using NetSim Simulator

With the rising popularity of WirelessCommunication, Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) hasobtained its own place to be analyzed. The potentialapplications of MANET are growing tremendously due to itsrapid changing technology. Wireless network can beestablished in two modes. One is "Ad hoc mode" where thenodes are self-organized and another is "Infrastructuredmode" where the nodes are managed by a central coordinatorsuch as Base Station or Access Point. However, routing plays amajor role in MANET as all the nodes are mobile. MobilityModeling and Control makes the topology of MANET morecomplicated which requires considerable amount of attention.To handle this scenario, different solutions are proposed in theliterature. This paper attempts to evaluate the performance ofthe DSR and AODV routing protocol with different mobilitymodel using NetSim Simulator to extend the applicability ofthe protocol. As of now, much result has not been reported inthe literature with NetSim Simulator and Mobility Modelinghas a great impact on future Internet of Things (IoT). So,performance metrics such as Throughput, End to End delay,Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Routing Overhead, and NetworkLifetime has been measured and comparative results arepresented in this paper.
