A Comparison of Optimized Link State Routing with Traditional Routing Protocols in Marine Wireless Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks (original) (raw)

A Performance Comparison of Routing Protocols for Ad Hoc Networks

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes in which the wireless links are frequently broken down due to mobility and dynamic infrastructure. Routing is a significant issue and challenge in ad hoc networks. Many routing protocols have been proposed like OLSR, AODV so far to improve the routing performance and reliability. In this paper, we describe the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) and the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV). We evaluate their performance through exhaustive simulations using the Network Simulator 2 (ns2) by varying conditions (node mobility, network density).

Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks Performance Enhancement

Current research on routing protocols for Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) has converged to several dominating routing protocols, including Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), Ad-hoc Ondemand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). At the same time, classic routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) are improved for the MANET context. Research efforts also focus on issues such as Quality of Service (QoS), energy efficiency, and security, which already exist in the wired networks and are worsened in MANET. This paper examines the routing protocols and their improvements. We discuss the metrics used to evaluate these protocols and highlight the essential problems in the evaluation process itself.

Comparative study of routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks

The First Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc …, 2002

In this paper, we describe the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) [19],[20], a proactive routing protocol for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs). We evaluate its performance through exhaustive simulations using the Network Simulator 2 (ns2) [1], and compare with other ad-hoc protocols, specifically the Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) [4] routing protocol and the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) [5] protocol. We study the protocols under varying conditions (node mobility, network density) and with varying traffic (TCP, UDP, different number of connections/streams) to provide a qualitative assessment of the applicability of the protocols in different scenarios. * Thomas Heide Clausen may also be contacted at MindPass Center for

A Preliminary Study of Routing Protocols in a Tactical Data Link Ad Hoc Network in Colombian Maritime Scenario

Ciencia y tecnología de buques, 2020

Tactical Data Link (TDL) systems are a kind of Mobile Ad Hoc NETwork (MANET) used in diverse maritime operational environments such as natural disasters, surveillance, maritime search, and rescue. A TDL network is usually composed of nodes or units representing surface ships, submarines, and aircrafts able to participate in maritime operations. A routing protocol is required to establish communication between nodes, which guarantees the route from the source node to the destination node. A TDL has been developed in the Colombian Caribbean Sea (CTDL). However, no efficient routing protocol has been implemented. This works to perform a preliminary study to implement an appropriate routing protocol for the CTDL. Local environment constraints, in addition to the chosen protocols' performance analysis, will provide preliminary alternatives for a routing protocol with acceptable efficiency. This article provides a background of ad-hoc networks routing protocols, a description of the C...

Performance evaluation of ad-hoc routing protocols in underwater acoustic sensor networks

2010

Mobile ad hoc network is an infrastructureless wireless network with limited bandwidth and highly dynamic topology. It can support wide variety of applications by using specialized routing protocol either proactive or reactive protocols. However, to support multimedia applications to deliver voice and video data over ad hoc network is very challenging due to its characteristic mentioned above. MPEG-4 encoding scheme seems to be suitable for ad hoc networks since they offer high video quality with higher compression ratio than other MPEG standards. Because of this motivation, performance investigation on MPEG-4 traffic delivery over ad hoc network is required. Hence, we construct the simulation to demonstrate the performances of various ad hoc routing protocols including both proactive and reactive protocols when they deliver MPEG-4 bitstreams.

Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols: A Detailed Performance Examination of AODV, DSR and DSDV

International Journal of Computer Applications, 2012

The latest technology MANETs is being studied widely and attracting a large variety of applications. Due to varying network topology, The most common challenging factor in MANET is routing [2][3]. In this research paper, we study the performance of reactive routing protocols, Ad hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and proactive routing protocol Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV). We study the performance of MANETs routing protocol in high mobility case under low, medium and high density scenario. It becomes important to study the noticeable effect of high mobility on the performance of these routing protocols. We examine in detail the performance of routing protocol with respect to Average End-to-End Delay, Normalized Routing Load (NRL), Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF) and Throughput. Simulation study with NS-2 confirms that AODV provide better performance as compared to DSR and DSDV

A Performance Comparison of Routing Protocols for Maritime Wireless Mesh Networks

2008

We envisage coverage extension of the high bit rate terrestrial communication networks to the ships to reduce the cost in maritime communications. The coverage extension is achieved by forming a mobile wireless mesh network amongst neighboring ships, marine beacons and buoys. The wireless mesh network will be connected to the terrestrial networks across multiple hops via land stations at shore. In such a multi-hop wireless network, routing protocol is important. This paper compares the performance of three existing routing protocols in a maritime communication environment. The three routing protocols are OLSR, AODV and AOMDV. The performance comparison is done via simulation. In the simulation, the wireless mesh network is formed using WiMAX mesh MAC protocol. Also, the random sea surface movement and maritime communication link characteristic are simulated. From the simulation results, we found that OLSR is not as efficient as AODV and AOMDV. Also, compared to AODV, the performance of AOMDV is less affected by sea condition.

Performance Comparisons of AOMDV and OLSR Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Network

2010 Second International Conference on Computer Engineering and Applications, 2010

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) eliminates the complexity of an infrastructured configuration and allows wireless devices to communicate with each other on the fly for any application. It does not rely on a base station to coordinate the flow of messages to nodes in the network. A primary challenge is for each device to maintain the information to properly route traffic and data packets. In this paper, we analyze the performance differences of Ad hoc On-demand Multi-path Distance Vector (AOMDV) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) routing protocols. We evaluate their performance through simulation using network simulator (ns-2). We analyse the strengths and weaknesses of these two protocols by measuring packet loss rates (%), average end to end delay (sec), and normalized routing load.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF MOBILE AD HOC NETWORK ROUTING PROTOCOLS

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less and decentralized network which need a robust dynamic routing protocol. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far to find optimized routes from source to the destination and prominent among them are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV), and Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) routing protocols. The performance comparison of these protocols should be considered as the primary step towards the invention of a new routing protocol. This paper presents a performance comparison of proactive and reactive routing protocols DSDV, AODV and DSR based on QoS metrics (packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, throughput, jitter), normalized routing overhead and normalized MAC overhead by using the NS-2 simulator. The performance comparison is conducted by varying mobility speed, number of nodes and data rate. The comparison results show that AODV performs optimally well not the best among all the studied protocols.
