Abstract:
A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a network of wireless mobile devices capable of communicating with one another without any reliance on a fixed infrastructure. A Mobile Medium Ad hoc Network (M2ANET) is a set of mobile forwarding nodes functioning as relays for facilitating communication between the users of this Mobile Medium. The performance of a Mobile Medium depends not only on the forwarding node density, their distribution and movement but also is affected by the traffic load present in the Medium. The traffic in the Mobile Medium may be due to multiple users using the Medium or due to rogue users performing a Denial of Service (DOS) attack. We investigate the performance of a Mobile Medium serving multiple users under different routing protocols, focusing on the performance of the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. The simulation results show that the packet delivery is only moderately affected (Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) dropped form 93% to 83% in the sample network) by the presence of a competing flow in the Medium, due to the resilience of ad hoc networks. On the other hand, in the same network, the packet delay is affected significantly (four fold increase in packet delay, from 0.2s to 0.8s, in the sample network).
