Performance Analysis of TCP Newreno Over Mobility Models Using Routing Protocols in MANETs

1. Introduction

MANET is a self-regulating system of networking that consists of autonomous wireless nodes. Howeverthe nodes move and change their network connectivity dynamically. The network can be set up anywhere, at any time, the mobile nodes are interconnected and can converse with each other either in one hop when they are under the radio range of one another or via multi-hop due to the flexibility which MANETs offers (Roy, 2011). In MANETs, the mobile nodes are able to play the role of mobile hosts as well as a router. In a real scenario, the existence of mobility makes a challenge for the design and implementation of the MANET. It is a big challenge to design protocols and services for mobile environments. Moreover, the features of different models of the mobility of mobile nodes in MANET required be studying and examining mindfully. However, the influence of the pattern of mobility on supporting application services, protocols, and systems should be taken into consideration for improved implementation and design. Vehicular communication, military, disaster relief, and manage conferences are some real-life applications of the MANET.
