Comparative performance analysis of DSR and AODV protocol based on mobility factor

Ad hoc wireless networks are decentralized in nature and hence routing is a central challenge in this type of network. In this paper we describe a simulation model to simulate the routing protocols for wireless ad hoc networks and analyze the results from the simulation for performance evaluation. The simulation model incorporates the number of parameter values with changing environmental factors. Specially we have chosen the dynamic source routing (DSR) and ad-hoc on demand distance vector routing (AODV) protocol to be implemented in the simulation software with that model. We carried out the extensive simulations and we conclude with the comparative statistical analysis of those two protocols based on mobility factor.
