Performance Analysis of Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols Using Self Organizing Map (SOM)

The document discusses performance analysis of routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks using self-organizing maps. It analyzed four routing protocols - DSDV, DSR, AODV and DSR - under different mobility scenarios in a simulation platform to determine the most suitable protocol based on packet delivery ratio, overhead and delay. The analysis found that AODV performed best overall with fairly good performance across all three metrics under different conditions.

Performance Analysis of Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols Using Self Organizing Map SOM!

Ephraim Warutere Mureu Abstract The Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are wireless network which have no central bridge, no fixed routers and no centralized administration All nodes ma! move randoml! and are connecting d!namicall! to each other "ence, each node acts as a destination as well as a router The MANETs have d!namic network to#olog! due to the mobilit! of the nodes There are man! #rotocols that have been develo#ed to aid in routing in these t!#es of networks and are generall! classified as either #roactive or reactive Each of these #rotocols is designed with some certain mobilit! scenario in mind To achieve effective routing in a given scenario, the right #rotocol must be chosen $hoosing the right #rotocol involves evaluating the #erformance metrics that defines the effectiveness of a routing #rotocol namel!% &acket 'eliver!
