Selection of Ad Hoc

Abstract—A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes communicating with each other using multi-hop wireless links without any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration.To decide Routing protocols for ad-hoc networks is a great challenge. Network throughput delay and packet delivery ratio are three important parameters in the design and evaluation of mobile ad hoc networks. In recent years, a variety of routing protocols targeted specifically where Pause time was constant. In this work, we make a comparison of three prominent protocols AODV, DSR and DSDV for mobile ad hoc network by varying pause time and simulating them on NS2 [1].Various types of scenarios are generated and each of the protocol is simulated on each of these, then their parameters like throughput, packet delivery ratio and delay will be compared The performance differentials are analyzed using varying pause time, constant nodes and dynamic topology. Based on the observations, we make valuable conclusions about which protocol performs better in which condition. I
