Performance comparison of two on-demand routing protocols for ad hoc networks

by Samir R. Das, Charles E. Perkins , Elizabeth M. Royer , 2000
"... Ad hoc networks are characterized by multihop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols. We compare the performance of two prominent ondemand routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks — Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Ho ..."

A Performance Comparison of Multi-Hop Wireless Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols

by Josh Broch, David A. Maltz, David B. Johnson, Yih-chun Hu, Jorjeta Jetcheva , 1998
"... An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Due to the limited transmission range of wireless network interfaces, multiple network "hops " ma ..."

;quot; may be needed for one node to exchange data with another across the network. In recent years, a variety of new routing protocols targeted specifically at this environment have been developed, but little performance information on each protocol and no realistic performance comparison between them

A Review of Current Routing Protocols for Ad-Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks

by Elizabeth M. Royer, Chai-Keong Toh
"... An ad-hoc mobile network is a collection of mobile nodes that are dynamically and arbitrarily located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis. In order to facilitate communication within the network, a routing protocol is used to discove ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1311 (3 self) - Add to MetaCart
. This paper examines routing protocols for ad-hoc networks and evaluates these protocols based on a given set of parameters. The paper provides an overview of eight different protocols by presenting their characteristics and functionality, and then provides a comparison and discussion of their respective

Comparison of Broadcasting Techniques for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

by Brad Williams, Tracy Camp - MOBIHOC'02 , 2002
"... Network wide broadcasting in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks provides important control and route establishment functionality for a number of unicast and multicast protocols. Considering its wide use as a building block for other network layer protocols, the MANET community needs to standardize a single meth ..."

A comparison of mechanisms for improving TCP performance over wireless links

by Hari Balakrishnan, Venkata N. Padmanabhan, Srinivasan Seshan, Randy H. Katz - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1997
"... Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless and other lossy links also suffer from significant losses due to bit errors and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by i ..."

, using throughput and goodput as the metrics for comparison. Our results show that a reliable link-layer protocol that is TCP-aware provides very good performance. Furthermore, it is possible to achieve good performance without splitting the end-to-end connection at the base station. We also demonstrate

Software Testing: Protocol Comparison

by James Yen, David Banks, P. Black, L. J. Gallagher, C. R. Hagwood, R. N. Kacker, S. Rosenthal , 1998
"... Abstract: Software testing is hard, expensive, and uncertain. Many protocols have been suggested, especially in the area of conformance veri cation. In order to compare the e cacy of these protocols, we have implemented a designed simulation experiment that examines performance in terms of testing c ..."

We nd that no single method dominates all others, and provide guidance on how tochoose the best protocol for a given application. 1 Software Testing: Protocol Comparison 1 Software Testing Many researchers have proposed protocols for testing software, inspecting software, and deciding

GloMoSim: A Library for Parallel Simulation of Large-scale Wireless Networks

by Xiang Zeng, Rajive Bagrodia, Mario Gerla - in Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation , 1998
"... A number of library-based parallel and sequential network simulators have been designed. This paper describes a library, called GloMoSim (for Global Mobile system Simulator), for parallel simulation of wireless networks. GloMoSim has been designed to be extensible and composable: the communication p ..."
Abstract - Cited by 650 (30 self) - Add to MetaCart
protocol stack for wireless networks is divided into a set of layers, each with its own API. Models of protocols at one layer interact with those at a lower (or higher) layer only via these APIs. The modular implementation enables consistent comparison of multiple protocols at a given layer. The parallel

I-TCP: Indirect TCP for mobile hosts

by Ajay Bakre, B. R. Badrinath , 1995
"... Abstract — IP-based solutions to accommodate mobile hosts within existing internetworks do not address the distinctive features of wireless mobile computing. IP-based transport protocols thus suffer from poor performance when a mobile host communicates with a host on the fixed network. This is cause ..."

A Survey on Position-Based Routing in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

by Martin Mauve, Jörg Widmer, Hannes Hartenstein - IEEE Network , 2001
