MANET Proactive and Reactive Routing Protocols

Abstract
A group of wireless nodes forms a configuration that is linked to a remote medium forming dynamic topology. A routing protocol enables packets to travel from the sender to the destination via intermediate nodes. When a device or intermediate node delivers information to other nodes in an Ad hoc network, the node consumes some energy, and data transmission may be interrupted as all of the power is consumed. MANET is often power-driven devices, the difficult component in MANET is to lower the power consumption of energy by the intermediate devices in the network so that the network remains active at the time of data transmission. The characteristics, uses, and problems of MANET are described in this research. In addition, we look at the MANET routing protocols. The performance of alternative routing protocols, such as DSDV, AODV, AOMDV, and DSR, is then compared using performance measures. The NS2.35 simulator is used to conduct the performance assessment.
