Performance Analysis of AODV & DSR Routing Protocols for MANET

The advancement in wireless technology in the present era have created networks with low cost and low power consumption. One of such networks which exist is called as Mobile Ad-hoc network which is characterized by wirelessly connected nodes with frequent change in network topology. As the nodes are connected wirelessly a routing mechanism (routing protocols) is required for successful transmission of packets. Sometimes two or more nodes sending the information simultaneously results in collisions. Hence medium access controls (MAC protocols) are required for efficient transmission and avoiding collision. In this research work performance of various attributes like throughput, average jitter, end-to-end delay for two Routing protocols (AODV and DSR) is analyzed by increasing the mobility of node, applying different MAC layer protocols (CSMA and ALOHA) and changing the type of scenario.
