Comparative study of AODV, DSR, GRP, TORA AND OLSR routing techniques in open space long distance simulation using Opnet

Abstract EN

Potential wireless applications will obtain advantage of deployable speed and self-configuring Ad-hoc networks.

This research uses a simulation method to monitor the effectiveness of Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Gathering based Routing Protocol (GRP), Temporarily Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) and Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) routing protocol in open space area such as a quay crane in port operation.

The objective of this study is to examine and evaluate these variety of techniques to improving the precision of performance of the best protocol.

The routing techniques AODV, DSR, GPR, TORA and OLSR are analysed and compared by using OPNET Modeller simulator on the basis of performance metrics such as network load, delay and throughput.

This method used to increase the system utilities in such away to have further improves performance, and provide a qualitative estimation of the best applicable technique.

The simulation results show that OLSR routing protocol has high throughput and lowest end-to-end delay compare to other cases that have the same packets size (1024bytes) and the number of packets to 50 packet per sec, on a scalable network environment, up to 139 nodes.
