Brief Introduction of the Wireless AODV Protocol Analysis

Abstract

The field of wireless communication is expanding quickly and offers many communication channels, including ad-hoc networks and sensor networks, among others. Ad-hoc networks are self-configured wireless networks made up of a large number of mobile nodes that communicate with one another decentralized. A technology called a sensor network has the potential to transform many elements of information and communication in the coming period. This study examines how the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing protocol (AODV) performs in three different wireless networks: the Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN). Zigbee (802.15.4) is a sensor network that is used for WPAN, whose network range is very limited under 10-100m and works on the star, tree, and mesh topology, Wi-Fi (802.11) network for WLAN, whose network range is 50-100m, and WiMax (802.16) network for WMAN, whose network range is 50km and working in two modes — Fixed WiMax and Mobile WiMax. Both WiMax and Wi-Fi are ad-hoc networks. This study compares the effectiveness of the AODV routing protocol using ZigBee. The fundamental requirements of wireless network architecture are path routing and protocol selection. Adhoc networks can self-configure and are flexible, making them useful in a variety of situations. Proactive, Reactive, and Hybrid routing protocols are significant classes. Reactive (on-demand) routing is the most common type of routing for wireless ADHOC routing. This study will cover the fundamental introduction to the MATLAB-based on-demand distance routing reactive protocol.
