Routing protocols play a pivotal role to facilitate energy-efficient, reliable and robust communication in MANE Ts where the nodes mostly have limited resources. The main target of a MANET routing protocol is to provide the path among nodes that should be accurate and efftcient and the route discovery and maintenance processes should incur less energy, packet delay and overhead. Several MANET routing protocols have been proposed over the years in order to achieve different application-specific objectives. This thesis presents a comparative analysis of three most popular MANET routing protocols, namely, Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) protocols. These protocols are evaluated under different network sizes. topologies and mobility models and with varying tramc conditions and against several network parameters including packet delivery ratio, packet transmission. energy consumption, packet delay and throughput. The intensive experiment results that have achieved under the OMNeT++ platform show that AODV protocol, in general, outperforms the other two protocols for most of the parameters for the various network scenarios. xii Department Of Computer System Engineering https://tinyurl.com/43avahn9 THESIS 0 0 0 0 RESEARCH RESEARCH 2016-11-23 0 MP/08-77 2016-11-23 00:00:00 THESIS 0 0 0 0 RESEARCH RESEARCH 2018-09-25 0 MP/24-259 2018-09-25 00:00:00 2018-09-25 THESIS
