The Effect of Mobility in MANET on the Performance of AODV, DSR and DSDV Protocols

Between MANET nodes as between Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) nodes, route information is needed for the data packets sent by the sensor nodes to reach the target node.Route information is provided using proactive and reactive routing protocols, considering performance criteria such as efficiency, delay, packet transmission rate, packet drop rate and energy.In proactive routing protocols, route information is created on a table-based basis, while in reactive routing protocols, route information is created on a request basis.Change in speed as a mobility factor affects the performance of routing protocols positively or negatively.In this study, an experiment was carried out in the NS2 simulation environment on how AODV and DSR reactive routing protocols and DSDV proactive routing protocol perform at different selected speeds in efficiency, delay, packet transmission rate and packet drop rate metrics, and it is aimed to determine which one is the best performer.It is seen that the speed unit with the highest performance of the AODV protocol is 10 m/s (36 km/s), while the speed unit with the most performance of the DSDV and DSR protocols is 5 m/s (18 km/s).In addition, speed points between the selected speeds are also important in MANET.Due to this importance, performance measurements at 6, 7, 8 and 9 m/sec speeds are also presented with the same simulation parameters to be used future works, although they are not included in the comparison in the current study.
