Add-Hoc Network

• Ad-hoc is a Latin word which means "for this purpose"

• It is a decentralized type of wireless network.

• It does not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure, such as routers in wired

networks or access points in wireless networks.

• The routing decisions are made by the node itself.

• Ad-hoc network can be broadly classified into MANET and VANET.

MANET

• mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-routing, infrastructure less

network of mobile devices connected wirelessly

• MANETs have many applications : such as

military communication,

in search and rescue operations,

in home and enterprise networks,

in entertainment,

and in sensor networks

ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN MANET

• There are number of routing protocols in manet such as AODV,DSDV,DSR

etc..

• The routing protocols in MANET is classified into four types

1) PROACTIVE ROUTING

2) REACTIVE ROUTING

3) HYBRID ROUTING

4) HIERARCHICAL ROUTING

PROACTIVE ROUTING

• This type of protocols maintains a routing table; so it is otherwise called

table driven routing protocol.

• The address of nodes are periodically updated in the routing tables of all

nodes throughout the network.

• Nodes transmit hello message periodically to update routing table

• Eg: DSDV

• ADVANTAGES

1) Fast route discovery

2) Good reliability in packet delivery

• DISADVANTAGES

1) It need large routing overhead

2) It requires periodic hello message to find routing changes

REACTIVE ROUTING

• This protocol do not have any pre determined routing table, it is otherwise

called On Demand Routing Protocol

• Here node initiates a route discovery process throughout the network, only

when it wants to send packets to its destination.

• Route discovery is done by using flooding of route request packets

• Eg: AODV

• ADVANTAGES

1) It requires less routing overhead

2) It consume less resources due to the absence of large routing tables

• DISADVANTAGES

1) High latency time in route finding.

2) Excessive flooding can lead to network clogging.

HIERARCHICAL ROUTING

• This type of protocol combines the advantages of proactive and reactive

routing.

• The routing is initially established with proactive routing and then serves

reactive routing for additionally activated nodes by flooding.

HYBRID ROUTING

• It is similar to hybrid protocol but the choice of proactive and of reactive

routing depends on the hierarchic level in which a node resides

DSDV (DESTINATION SEQUENCE DISTANCE VECTOR)

• It is a type of the PROACTIVE Routing Protocol

• It is developed by modifying the Distributed Bellman Ford algorithm for

using in mobile wireless environment.

• It uses a sequence number to avoid looping; hence called ‘destination

sequence distance vector’

• Each node maintain a routing table with destination address, hope count and

sequence number.

AODV (AD-HOC ON DEMAND DISTANCE VECTOR)

• It is an improvement of the DSDV protocol

• There is no routing tables are maintained here; the routing is done by

flooding route request message to the neighboring nodes.

• Next hop is calculated on the basis of delay time of route reply messages.

• It use least congested path instead of shortest path.

• it also supports both unicast and multicast packet transmissions

• The advantage of AODV is that it minimize the number of required

broadcasts.

SIMULATION TOOL AND PARAMETERS

• The simulation is done by using NETWORK SIMULATOR-2 (NS 2)

• The parameters of the scenario is given in the table shown below.

SIMULATION RESULTS

PERFORMANCE METRICS

• Here we use three parameters to compare the performance of the two routing

1) End-to-End Delay (E2E): This metric includes all possible delay that may be

caused during the transmission of packet from source to destination.

2)Packet loss: It is the number of data packets lost during transmission.

3)Throughput: it is otherwise called Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF). It is the ratio

of the data packets delivered to the destinations to those generated by the sources

RESULTS

• THROUGHPUT of 30 node AODV and DSDV

• PACKET LOSS of 30 node AODV and DSDV

• End to end delay of 30 node AODV and DSDV

• From the comparison between AODV and DSDV it is clear that the

performance of REACTIVE Routing protocol is much better than

PROACTIVE routing protocols.
