Sensitivity Analysis of EADARP Multicast Protocol
Energy Adaptable Distance Aware Routing Protocol (EADARP) designed for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. EADARP is on-demand mesh-based multicast protocol, depends on choosing the most efficient path in terms of distance and energy and makes some adjustments of nodes batteries power levels when required. It is convenient for networks having high channel capacity mobile hosts, frequent topology changes and constrained power. In this paper, we propose and apply a simulation methodology to perform sensitivity analysis for protocol performance due to changes in network parameters. Eighteen parameters are considered allowing to assess the impact of the changes in such parameters on the performance of the protocol. The results of application are analyzed and evaluated.
Keywords: Wireless Ad hoc networks, EADARP protocol, Sensitivity analysis, Multicast Network Parameters.
