Abstract :
xAd hoc networks are characterized by multi hop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols, compare the performance of two prominent routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks. xDSR (dynamic source routing) and AODV (ad hoc distance vector routing). A detailed simulation model with MAC and physical layer models is used to study inter layer interactions and their performance implications, demonstrate that even though DSR and AODV share a similar behavior, the differences in the protocol mechanics can lead to significant performance differentials.
