Abstract:
A Mobile ad hoc network consists of wireless mobile nodes those who have ability to communicate mutually while there is no role of infrastructure network or any centralized control. In order to forward packets from one node to another, a mobile node works as host as well as router. Routing protocols play a relevant role in functioning of mobile ad-hoc networks. Many routing protocols have been proposed in order to fulfillment of the functioning requirements of mobile ad-hoc networks, out of which some protocols have relatively better performance. This paper deals with performance analysis of routing protocols namely AODV, DSR and DYMO under pause time variation while mobility model is random way. The analysis has been done under many performance parameters like jitter, end to end delay, throughput, packet delivery ratio etc. The results have been analysed using Qual Net 7.1 simulator.
