Performance analysis of DSR routing protocol under different mobility models

Abstract

A MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Network) is made up by a set of mobile devices interconnected to send and receive information without an established infrastructure.This characteristic poses routing problems which are the research object. Regarding the different protocols proposed to solve this problem, the DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) evolves efficiently and optimally in scenarios where the amount of mobility nodes for a reduced space is a good election; whereas, for larger areas, where the concentration of nodes are smaller, it is less efficient to send and receive data between two nodes that are communicating
