MANET Routing Protocols.pdf

The performance of MANET routing protocols is significantly impacted by transmission power. A study examined the effects of transmission power on the quality of service (QoS) of reactive and proactive routing protocols, including AODV, OLSR, DSDV, and DSR. The results showed that AODV outperformed other routing protocols in overall performance.

Key Findings

Transmission power significantly affects the data dissemination of different routing protocols in MANET.
AODV performed better than other routing protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio (PDR), packet loss (PL), jitter, and delay.
The performance of routing protocols improved with increased transmission power.
Reactive routing protocols, such as AODV and DSR, established routing paths on-demand, while proactive routing protocols, such as OLSR and DSDV, employed a table-driven approach.

Conclusion

The study concluded that transmission power has a significant impact on the QoS of MANET routing protocols. AODV was found to be the best-performing routing protocol in terms of overall performance. The results of this study can be used to improve the design and implementation of MANET routing protocols.
