Overview and Performance Analysis of Ad-Hoc on-Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol

Abstract

Ad-Hoc on demand distance vector routing protocol (AODV) is a reactive routing protocol in the arena of mobile ad-hoc network. In order to concentrate on the performance in ad-hoc networks, one must pay attention to the technological advancements and applications of MANETS, going on the track of 3G and has the potential to make a tremendous stance in 5G. In evolutionary view, 5G will be capable of supporting Wireless World Wide Web (WWWW), allowing high flexibility in dynamic ad-hoc networks. This intelligent technology is capable of interconnecting the entire world without limitations. AODV can make a very good contribution in 3G-5G technologies in order to prove its correctness and performance evolution in MANETS routing protocols. The objective of this Master’s research is to extend and evaluate proposed routing protocol to be suitable for mobile ad hoc networks. In order to improve performance and selecting the packet delivery fraction, end-to-end delay and also route discovery frequency should be compared with global statistics frequencies. The correctness and performance evaluation of the proposed protocol should be done theoretically and implemented through simulation, using OPNET simulator to improve routing performance and end to end data delivery.
