QoS, Information routing in wireless networks

Abstract

Today, wireless networks are very used in our daily life. Among these wireless networks we have Ad Hoc networks (MANET). Ad Hoc network can be defined as a collection of electronic devices. They can be used for many purposes. The most important task to ensure the transmission of data in Ad Hoc network is the routing task. We can find many routing protocols. In our study, we have studied the problematic of routing in Ad Hoc networks. Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA), Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) have been chosen in our study. We have evaluated these protocols based on throughput, media access delay, network load, delay and traffic dropped metric. The simulation has been done on Opnet simulator.
