Performance Analysis Of The Mobility Model Various Routing Protocol In Manet Using Ns3

Abstract

This paper performs a comprehensive analysis of the results from NS-3 simulations for testing various mobility models with MANETs and configures different node numbers. The purpose of the study is to determine which mobility model is more effective for MANETs. The research will evaluate them in terms of key metrics. Simulations are run on different node counts with varied mobility models within a 50x50 unit area. The analysis shows that the Gauss-Markov Mobility Model shows better performance than the other non-realistic mobility models for scenarios with 50 nodes. A fundamentally important lesson of this study is that for achieving optimal MANET performance under given conditions, an optimal mobility model needs to be selected. This paper also provides future work on various dimensions: use of other mobility models, alternative traffic generators, change in packet inter-arrival duration, and differing speeds of nodes. These improvements are aimed at expanding the scope and applicability of results to more diversified MANET scenarios. Invaluable aspects for designers and researchers in networks attempting to achieve optimal performance for MANETs in dynamic environments are provided through this research.
