Abstract
A mobile ad hoc network is instant and heuristic, and it is also vulnerable and volatile. Since topology and route changes are frequent, no single routing protocol designed for a conventional network performs well. Some protocols suffer from significant performance degradation when the number of nodes increases, or when nodes become highly mobile. In this paper we investigate a way to adaptively select a routing protocol that fits to the real-time network conditions. The first phase of our study is to analyze the performances of two classes of routing protocols under various network scenarios. The second phase consists of constructing a routing protocol selection reference. All nodes continue to monitor the status of neighbor nodes and control packets exchanged. Then, the aggregated information is periodically compared against the protocol selection reference. The selected routing protocol is maintained throughout the network until the network property changes substantially. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by a set of computer simulations using the OPNET modeler. The experimental results show that selectively changing routing protocol adaptive to the network conditions greatly improves the efficacy of bandwidth utilization.
