Comparative Performance Evaluation of Routing Algorithms in IEEE 802.11 Ad Hoc Networks
In this paper we examine the behavior of Ad Hoc networks
through simulations, using different routing protocols and
various topologies. We examine the difference in performance,
using CBR application, with packets of different size through a
variety of topologies, showing the impact node placement has on
networks performance. We show that the choice of routing
protocol plays an important role on network’s performance. We
also quantify node mobility effects, by looking into both static
and fully mobile configurations. Our paper presents a systematic
analysis of a variety of different ad hoc network topologies in
terms of node placement, node mobility and routing protocols
through several simulated scenarios.
