Abstract

Mobile Ad-hoc networks are basically self organizing, self configuring and peer to peer multi-hop wireless networks in which the information packets are transmitted in a \\\\\\\'store and forward\\\\\\\' manner from a sourceto an arbitrary destination via intermediate nodes. These networks provide dynamically changing network connectivity owing to mobility. The mobility model represents the moving behavior of each mobile node in theMANET 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 VectorRouting (AODV) protocol. We have studied the effects of various random mobility models on the performance of On- Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) and we develop a method to analyze the optimal delay in mobilead-hoc networks which gives the better performances in terms of delay and throughput and exploit the results in NS-2 simulator.
