ABSTRACT

This paper investigates and undertakes simulation based study of adhoc routing protocols in wireless sensor networks. In this paper we have compared the performance of two routing protocol AODV and DSR by using random waypoint mobility model and changing the node density with varying number of source node. DSR and AODV both protocol use On-Demand route discovery concept but internal mechanism which they use to find the route is significantly different for both protocol. We have analyzed the performance of protocols for varying network load and mobility. Simulation with random waypoint mobility model has been carried out by using qualnet 5.0.2 Simulator. The metrics used for performance evaluation are packet Delivery fraction, Average end-to-end Delay, Average jitter.
