MANET performance measurement of DYMO routing protocol by varying density and mobility speed

Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that able or allow communicating with each other without the use of network infrastructure or any centralized administration. The mobile nodes can perform as a host and a router forwarding packets from the source node to the destination nodes. This paper describes some characteristics of Dynamic MANET On-demand (DYMO) as ad hoc routing protocols. Different conditions will affect the performance of the DYMO routing protocol due to the small size of the network area and low mobility speed, it will degrade the performance of DYMO because it can cause more overhead for the protocol. By varying number of nodes and mobility speed in the network, performance metrics such as packet delivery ratio, throughput, and packet loss rate measured. Simulations of routing protocols are to analyze the performance of DYMO in different conditions performed in OMNeT++.
