Throughput Performance Comparison of AODV, OLSR, TORA Mobile Ad Hoc Network Protocols Under the Random Walk Mobility and Random Way Point Model

Mobile ad hoc Network consists of mobile networks which create an underlying architecture for communication without the help of traditional fixed-position routers. MANET is group of mobile nodes which uses multi hop transmission for communication. Routing in MANET is challenging task, moreover presence of malicious nodes make the overall network very insecure furthermore dynamic nature of moving nodes adds to the complexity. Mobility of the nodes has substantial influence on the network performance. Present Paper reports the performance comparison of throughput in between Proactive routing protocol by focusing on Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), Reactive Routing Protocol by focusing on Ad Hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA). The performance analysis of three Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) routing protocols has been done under the two mobility models i.e. Random Walk Mobility Model and Random Way Point.
