A Compact AODV-based approach for MANET Routing

Abstract

In the present research we have implemented and carried out comprehensive analysis and comparison of unipath on-demand routing protocol (AODV), multipath on-demand routing protocol (AOMDV) using NS-2 simulator. We have then proposed S-AODV, a simple algorithm based on AODV which has performance nearly same as that of AODV but its main advantages are its simplicity, light weight and no routing overheads. The protocol was further implemented in NS-2 and its performance was compared with that of AODV and AOMDV. Performance of all protocols was carried out under identical traffic load and mobility patterns condition.
