MANET Routing Protocols for Real-Time Multimedia Applications
Authors: , ,
Abstract: Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-directed system of mobile devices connected by wireless links. The node in MANETs moves in the region and modifies its locations by creating infrastructure less network without intervention of any network administrator. Varity of routing protocol for ad hoc network are probable. The main focus behind is to save resources (bandwidth) while using routing protocols. While deploying MANETs, a number of challenges involve like network scalability, Quality of services (QoS), energy utilization, security, privacy measures, bandwidth optimization and dynamic topology etc. In this paper an effort has been made to compare the performance of different routing protocols using multimedia application (video traffic). Protocols which are being analyzed in this paper are: AODV, DSR TORA and OLSR. The performance parameter includes Data Dropped, Delay, Load, Media Access Delay, Retransmission attempt and throughput.
