Comparative analysis of AODV, DSR, DSDV varying pause time.

Abstract

A Wireless ad-hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad-hoc because it does not rely on pre-existing infrastructure such as routers in wired network or access points in managed wireless networks. A wireless system appears to be a promising approach to resolving critical networking limitations prevalent in a centralized wired topology. Information is routed through intermediary nodes to reach its destination. An effective way to reduce congestion is to efficiently route packets through the network maze. However the choices grow exponentially due to the combinatorial nature of this topology. Routing protocols must be carefully designed to maximize network efficiency. We have considered AODV, DSR and DSDV routing protocols and simulation is done using NS-2 (version NS-2.33).
