Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a multi-hop temporary autonomous system of mobile nodes with wireless transmitters and receivers without the aid of Pre-established network infrastructure. These networks provide dynamically changing network connectivity owing to mobility. The mobility model represents the moving behaviour of each mobile node in the MANET that should be realistic. It acts as a crucial part in the performance evaluation of MANET. The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of mobility on the performance of Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) protocol and propose a method to analyze the optimal delay in mobile ad-hoc networks and exploit the results in NS-2 simulator.
