dc.description.abstractMobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) consist of mobile nodes that can communicate with each other through wireless links without reliance on any infrastructure. The dynamic topology of MANETs poses a significant challenge for the design of routing protocols. Many routing protocols have been developed to discover routes in MANETs through various mechanisms such as source, distance vector, and link state routing. In this thesis, we present a comprehensive performance comparison of several prominent MANET routing protocols. The protocols studied are Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector (DSDV), Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector protocol (AODV), and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). We consider a range of network dynamicity and node density, model three mobility models: Steady-State Random Waypoint (SS-RWP), Gauss-Markov (G-M), and Lévy Walk, and use ns-3 to evaluate their performance on metrics such as packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and routing overhead. We believe this study will be helpful for the understanding of mobile routing dynamics, the improvement of current MANET routing protocols, and the development of new protocols.
