Analysis and Comparison of Distance Vector,DSDV and AODV Protocol of MANET

Abstract

In MANET, mobile nodes communicate with each other using wireless channels, without any existing infrastructure. Transmission of all kinds of data will takes place with the help of multiple hops across the network, because the transmission as well as reception range of wireless network is limited. Therefore, routing protocol plays a vital role to facilitate communication within network and is also used to discover proper route between nodes. AODV, DSDV, DSR etc. are the most popular routing protocol for MANET which are used to established correct and efficient path between nodes. This paper examines working of two routing protocols for MANET– the Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) which is a proactive protocol depending on routing tables which are maintained at each node and Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing (AODV) which find route to a destination on demand, whenever communication is needed and their comparison based on certain parameters.
