Effect of node mobility on AOMDV protocol in MANET

TL;DR

This paper evaluates how different node mobility models affect the performance of the AOMDV routing protocol in MANETs, revealing that increased mobility reduces packet delivery and affects delay.

Contribution

It introduces a comprehensive analysis of AOMDV under multiple mobility models, extending beyond the commonly used random waypoint model.

Findings

Packet delivery ratio decreases with higher node mobility.

Average delay varies with node speed and is minimized at lower node counts.

Different mobility models impact protocol performance distinctly.

Abstract

In this paper, we have analyzed the effect of node mobility on the performance of AOMDV multipath routing protocol. This routing protocol in ad hoc network has been analyzed with random way point mobility model only. This is not sufficient to evaluate the behavior of a routing protocol. Therefore, in this paper, we have considered Random waypoint, Random Direction and Probabilistic Random Walk mobility Model for performance analysis of AOMDV protocol. The result reveals that packet delivery ratio decreases with the increasing node mobility for all mobility models. Also, average end-to-end delay is also vary with varying node speed, initially upto 20 nodes in all mobility models delay is minimum.
