Evaluate Dynamic Source Routing Protocol Performance in Wireless MANET

摘要

Routing protocols used in ad hoc networks must automatically adjust to environments that can vary between theextremes of high mobility with low bandwidth, and low mobility with high bandwidth. In my research paper Ihave analyzed a routing protocol called Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). At the ed of my Research paper result ofits unique design, the protocol adapts quickly to routing changes when node movement is frequent, yet requireslittle or no overhead during periods in which nodes move less frequently. By graphical form a detailed analysis ofDSR’s behaviour in a variety of situations, this paper generalizes the lessons learned from DSR so that they canbe applied to the many other new routing protocols that have adopted the basic DSR framework. In the DSRprotocol, a backup route will be initiated to transfer data (in route cache) when the initial route is broken.However, a backup route affects the overall network performance such as end-to-end delay, etc. In this paper, Ishowed the simulation results of the dynamic source routing protocol based on it’s throughput, pause time,packet received, drop packet ratio, end to end delay, packet delivery fraction, and routing overhead. This resultsshows that dynamic source routing protocol is an efficient protocol to be used in Ad Hoc network.
