AODV COMPARISONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

Abstract

Networking is the core for computer science technology and it is incomplete without the presence of various routing protocols present, which help in data transfer throughout the vast network of millions of computers present globally.
An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration.
Depending upon various factors different protocols …show more content…

Many solutions came up in the form of advanced routing protocols such as ‘ad hoc on demand routing’ protocols which were called only when data transfer was required. Some of these protocols were AODV (Ad hoc on demand distance vector) routing, DSR (Dynamic source routing), DSDV (Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector) routing, TORA (Temporally ordered routing algorithm).
In On-Demand routing protocols, the routes are created as and when required. When a source wants to send to a destination, it invokes the route discovery mechanisms to find the path to the destination.
As protocols cannot be perfect and each of them poses some newer challenges. In this paper we aim at comparing AODV to DSR and further improving AODV using advanced link repair mechanism.
The major purpose behind the comparison of AODV and DSR is to show that there is some further room for improvement in AODV protocol. The comparison acts as a reference base for our further study.
