Evaluation of multi-hop ad-hoc Routing protocol

Abstract

This thesis investigates the performance of the Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) Routing protocol on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications in Wireless Ad hoc Networks . Using VoIP over it takes advantage of the mobility and versatility of a WMAN environment and the flexibility and interoperability a digital voice format affords. Research shows that VoIP-like traffic can be routed through an ad hoc network using the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol. Representative VoIP traffic is submitted to a WMAN and end-to-end delay and packet loss are observed. Node density. On two scenarios. Results show that node density, number of data streams, and mobility affect Delay and packet loss. Even with the increase in both packet loss and delay, AODV is still a suitable routing protocol for VoIP traffic
