A survey on performance analysis of various routing protocols in MANETs
Abstract
In wireless communication technology, a wireless ad hoc network is a collection of specific mobile nodes without having particular infrastructure. It is formed with decentralized authority. A user can move anywhere with anytime in this ad hoc network. So such type of this network must take care of the routing protocols and these protocols must fit with dynamic network topology. To attain this scenario various routing protocols are implemented and used. In this paper, survey has been made about the performance of these protocols based on the features like number of hops per route, traffic received and sent, route discovery time, total route requests sent, total route replies sent, control traffic received and sent, etc
Keywords: Routing protocols, topology.
