Distributed Control Applications Within Sensor Networks

Abstract

A mobile Ad-hoc network consists of wireless nodes communicating with each other without the need for an external support or supervision, where all the moving nodes potential-ly contribute to the routing of data packets. Due to the free moving ability of the nodes in a ad hoc network model, there is a need of routing protocols which can adapt dynamically to the changing topology. In this project a routing protocol which can perform best in ad hoc mode with limited resource conditions like bandwidth, storage capacity, battery power, CPU capacity and storage capacity. Routing protocols Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Optimized link state Routing (OLSR) and ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing are simulated for this kind of scenario. The performances of these routing protocols are evaluated through PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio), Routing overhead, End to End Delay and Throughput.
