A Survey Paper on Mobility Model and Packet Size on PDR and Delay in MANET’s

Abstract

Each node within mobile adhoc network can act both host as well as router. For these mobile nodes to be properly functional and operational, routing protocol is required. And for this purpose, studies have being going on, which protocol is better. Little emphasis has been laid on network Performance indicator as which factors is most important for a specific Performance indicator. To the best of our knowledge no one has studied effect of different factors on network performance indicators like Packet delivery Ratio, Delay and Throughput and so on, as how much influence a particular factor or group of factors is having on network performance indicators itself Thus, in this work, effect of routing protocol, packet size and node mobility pause time have been evaluated against one of the most important network performance metric i.e. PDR and Delay.
