Performance Analysis of Routing Protocols AODV, OLSR and DSDV on MANET using NS3

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been widely used to process the monitoring of earth physical phenomena remotely. The result of data sensing in a certain area is transmitting to the server by routing these data via the adjacent nodes between sensor nodes and the server. The changing of physical phenomena will be monitored periodically in a server based on the receiving data from sensor nodes. Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a flexible network topology that could be installed in disaster areas with a lack of infrastructure. This topology strongly supports the WSN system in sensor data transmitting. In this paper, we analyze the performance of 3 common MANET routing protocols, i.e. Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Distance Vector (DSDV), and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR). The three protocols have been examined by simulation using Network Simulator 3 (NS3) with 4 examination parameters, namely Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), received data throughput, the percentage of packet loss, and transmitting delay. The result of the simulation shows that OLSR has better performance in the aforementioned parameter with the values 97,198%, 19,6399 Kbps, 2,802%, and 0,842 msec respectively based on the number of nodes provides.
