This paper analyzes the performance of the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) using node mobility models. Mobility affects the performance of a routing protocol as it causes changes to network topology. Thus, evaluating the performance of a MANET routing protocol requires mobility models that can accurately represent the movements of mobile nodes. Therefore, this paper evaluates the performance of the AODV and OLSR routing protocols using the random way point model and the Levy walk model by the ns-2 simulations.

In MANET(mobile ad hoc network), Mobility models vary according to the application-specific goals. The most widely used Random WayPoint Mobility Model(RWPMM) is advantageous because it is simple and easy to implement, but the random characteristic of nodes' movement is not enough to express the mobile characteristics of the entire sensor nodes' movements. The random mobility model is insufficient to express the inherent movement characteristics of the entire sensor nodes' movements. In the proposed Stochastic mobility model, To express the overall nodes movement characteristics of the network, the moving nodes are treated as random variables having a specific probability distribution characteristic. The proposed Stochastic mobility model is more stable and energy-efficient than the existing random mobility model applies to the routing protocol to ensure improved performances in terms of energy efficiency.

In this paper, we study how to achieve the maximum capacity under delay constraints for large mobile wireless networks. We develop a systematic methodology for studying this problem in the asymptotic region when the number of nodes n in the network is large. We first identify a number of key parameters for a large class of scheduling schemes, and investigate the inherent tradeoffs among the capacity, the delay, and these scheduling parameters. Based on these inherent tradeoffs, we are able to compute the upper bound on the maximum per-node capacity of a large mobile wireless network under given delay constraints. Further, in the process of proving the upper bound, we are able to identify the optimal values of the key scheduling parameters. Knowing these optimal values, we can then develop scheduling schemes that achieve the upper bound up to some logarithmic factor, which suggests that our upper bound is fairly tight. We have applied this methodology to both the i.i.d. mobility model and the random way-point mobility model. In both cases, our methodology allows us to develop new scheduling schemes that can achieve larger capacity than previous proposals under the same delay constraints. In particular, for the i.i.d. mobility model, our scheme can achieve (n-1/3/log3/2 n) per-node capacity with constant delay. This demonstrates that, under the i.i.d. mobility model, mobility increases the capacity even with constant delays. Our methodology can also be extended to incorporate additional scheduling constraints.

Cooperative communications play a important role in increasing frame transmission rate at wireless communication networks where frequency resource is strictly limited. In this paper, we did a research on how to select the helper nodes that are very import in cooperative communications. As a prelude study in this research field, we carried out performance comparison of three helper node selection schemes using computer simulation. The system throughput was used as the performance measure and the random way point mobility model, where every communicating nodes move around within the designated communication range, was used.

A variety of routing protocols targeted specifically at mobile ad-hoc network environments have been developed. Mobile ad-hoc network is a self-organizing temporary network, operating without the aid of any established wired infrastructure. The proposed protocol supports seamless communication services between the mobile hosts within a mobile ad-hoc network environments. In particular, our protocol makes faster route re-establishment possible by maintaining multiple paths in each mobile host, and also, the protocol provides reliable communication environments. We compare the performance of RWP model with that of LW model. This paper shows delivery ratio with single path and non-disjoint multiple path according to mobility model and node numbers.

In this paper, we carried out a study on how to find an appropriate helper node for cooperative communications, the role of which is very import to enhance system throughput of wireless communication system. The busy tone cooperative MAC (BT-COMAC) protocol proposed in this paper is a new cooperative MAC protocol with a reactive helper node scheme and maximizes the benefits of existing schemes while making up for their shortcomings. We conducted performance evaluation of this new protocol using computer simulation experiment. System throughput in bps and channel access delay are utilized as performance measures. We used a random way point mobility model where every communication node moves independently one another, and slow fading channel where every communication node decided its transmission rate with received power basis. Numerical results show that the new MAC protocol enhances system throughput as much as 15% of the existing scheme.
