This paper evaluates the performance of two prominent on-demand routing protocols, which are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) for wireless sensor networks. Results obtained from simulations demonstrates that even though DSR and AODV share a similar on-demand behavior, the differences in the protocol mechanics can lead to significant performance di...

MANETs (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks) are wireless networks with characteristics such as self organizing or autonomous, multi-hop and resource constrained. These resource constraints includes limited power, bandwidth etc. which in turn increases the difficulty in MANETs routing. The problem space includes route break, control overhead, limited energy etc. Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) is th...

The routing protocols play an important role in the performance of the Ad-hoc mobile networks. The Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol (AODV) is a reactive routing protocol for mobile networks. The route discovery process in AODV is initiated only prior to link establishment for data communication. This research focuses on the effect of the Route states hold time parameter on the ...

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile devices, a self configured, multi-hop network thus each device in network topology acts as a router. Routing protocols are necessary to find paths to reach other node. Due to mobility of nodes, routing plays an important role in communication. This paper gives an introduction to one of the MANET reactive routing protocol AODV i.e. Adhoc on...

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is wireless and an autonomous system such that nodes are move randomly in network. Every node to maintain host and router in network layer. The principal of routing protocol is Ad-hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV). It is used node to node routing. AODV is searching path from source to destination in ad-hoc network. The network layer in OSI model so use many ty...

In this paper we evaluated one of the commonly used proactive protocol–Ad hoc on demand distance vector. This paper proposes an improved assessment about the AODV protocol over different terrain condition like attitude above & below sea level etc. Here in the paper the performance of AODV protocol is judged on the basis of different layer’s performance of network model like Application, MAC, Tr...

A new routing protocol called Scalable Energy Efficient Ad-hoc on Demand Distance Vector (SEE-AODV) having good scalable properties and energy efficient than existing Ad hoc on Demand Distance (AODV) routing protocol in wireless mesh networks has been proposed in this paper. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh routers and mesh clients, where mesh routers have minimal mobility and form...

Appropriate routing protocol in data transfer is a challenging problem of network in terms of lower end-to-end delay in delivery of data packets with improving packet delivery ratio and lower overhead as well. In this paper we explain an effective and scalable AODV (called as AODV-ES) for Wireless Ad hoc Sensor Networks (WASN) by using third party reply model, n-hop local ring and time-to-live ...

Ad hoc mobile networking is a current active research area. They can be used in agriculture for monitoring and control of environmental parameters in the form of wireless sensor networks. The aim of this paper is performance evaluation of protocol of these Ad hoc networks i.e. QoS-enabled AODV protocol. The performance evaluation is done by means of its comparison with normal AODV protocol. QoS...

The “Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol” is used by mobile nodes in an ad hoc network. It offers quick adaptation to dynamic link conditions, low processing and memory overhead, low network utilization, and determines unicast routes to destinations within the ad hoc network. It uses destination sequence numbers to ensure loop freedom at all times (even in the face of anoma...
