Performance analysis of ad hoc routing protocols based on selective forwarding node algorithms

摘要

Network resources are essential in resource critical environments as ad hoc wireless networks (AWNs) due to their dynamic topology and broadcasting of packets over the wireless medium without a central controller. In order to perform a routing algorithm with minimum resource consumption, an ideal ad hoc routing protocol should be designed for low consumed resources such as low power consumption. In this paper focus on ad hoc routing protocols, Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) and gossip-based routing protocols, based on selective forwarding node algorithms that reduce the control message overheads. Thus, we present performance analytical results to thoroughly evaluate the routing protocols and demonstrate our Adaptive-Gossiping method advantages over Static-Gossiping routing and OLSR protocols in densely deployed networks. This paper is an extended version of ICISA 2013 conference paper [12].
