PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF MULTIPATH REACTIVE ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN MANET

Electronics and Communication Engineering

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) there is a collection of wireless devices which moving in seemingly adventitious directions and communicating with one another without establishing the real infrastructure. Communicating nodes in a Mobile Ad hoc Network normally seek the help of other intermediate nodes to establish communication channels. Thus, the communication may be via many intermediate nodes from source to destination. Multi-path routing is better one than the single path routing in mobile ad hoc networks, this is because many path routing allows the lay foundation of many path between a single source and single destination node. But in multipath routing, there is a problem of overhead management and transportation performance. So the aim of this work is to design such a wireless system which uses reactive multipath routing protocol who gives better data transportation performance than baseline protocols. Also it improves throughput and packet delivery ratio with reduction in overhead and end to end delay. The proposed approach contains implementation of better routing protocol which provide proper route updates, set require parameters at proper value, generate wireless network which has low error rate and fast packet generation. We used ns-2 to simulate. Simulation results will show better data transportation performance than baseline protocols. Also it will show improvements in throughput and packet delivery ratio with reduction in overhead and end to end delay.
