Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) exemplify a dynamic and decentralized communication framework, enabling devices to form network connections spontaneously, thereby rendering them especially appropriate for situations with infrastructural limitations. The efficacy of MANETs is heavily influenced by the selected routing protocol and the density of network nodes. This chapter provides a thorough analysis of three significant routing protocols: the Intermediate Node Traffic Sharing Model (INTSM), Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), and Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) across different node density scenarios.
This study encompasses comprehensive simulations and
performance assessments inside the NS2 simulation framework to evaluate the
efficacy of different routing protocols under varying node density conditions.
The essential performance parameters, such as packet delivery ratio, end-to-end
delay, network throughput, and routing overhead, across various node densities
were examined. Through a comprehensive comparison, it was intended to offer
significant insights into the behavior of these protocols and their adaptation
to dynamic network settings.
The study in this chapter elucidates the performance of
INTSM, AODV, and DSDV routing protocols amid variations in node density inside
the NS2 simulation environment, providing essential insights for the optimal
selection of protocols for certain MANET implementations. Moreover, this
research study highlights the significance of accounting for network dynamics
and diverse node populations in the design and optimization of mobile ad-hoc
communication systems, particularly when employing simulation tools such as NS2
for assessment and analysis.
