Abstract:
A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network in which nodes can freely move and dynamically self-organizing in terms of topological changes. Mobile nodes can communicate with themselves without any need of predefined infrastructure. But Mobile nodes are provided with limited bandwidth and limited battery power. Due to these characteristics, the MANETs are best suited for military operations, in battlefield grounds, Disaster relief and Rescue operations. Choosing the mobility model is very much crucial for specific application area that represents the moving behavior of a mobile node that should be realistic. Changing the mobility model, allows changes in routing performance of a routing protocol performance. In this paper, the authors have studied the effects of various random mobility models on the performance of GPSR, FSR and AODV. For experimental purposes, the authors have considered three scenarios using Random Waypoint Mobility Model and Modified Random Direction Mobility Model. Experimental results illustrate that performance of the routing protocol varies across different parameters like number of nodes; number of traffic sources and metrics used.
