Figure 3.2: AODV vs. OLSR<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r difference between my work and <strong>the</strong> pervious <strong>on</strong>e is <strong>the</strong> metric used for<br />
evoluti<strong>on</strong>. Instead of using throughput for performance assessment, PDR was used as a<br />
metric for ART evaluati<strong>on</strong> against mobility speed, number of stati<strong>on</strong>s and number of<br />
<strong>hop</strong>s. OPNET defines throughput as <strong>the</strong> “total number of bits (in Mbits/sec) forwarded<br />
from <strong>wireless</strong> LAN layers to higher layers in all WLAN nodes of <strong>the</strong> <strong>network</strong>”.<br />
However, this doesn’t count <strong>the</strong> dropped packets in case of collisi<strong>on</strong>. For that reas<strong>on</strong> we<br />
measured PDR for every scenario in <strong>the</strong> performed simulati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

A performance comparis<strong>on</strong> between two On-Demand routing protocols Ad hoc<br />
<strong>on</strong>-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) was<br />
simulated in Ref [2] for 15 stati<strong>on</strong>s. In comparis<strong>on</strong>, my research simulates <strong>the</strong> Packet<br />
Delivery Rate (PDR) improvement for AODV routing protocol (AODV achieve better<br />
results in [2] compared to DSR) using Active Route Timeout (ART) for 50, 60 and 70<br />
stati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
Reference [14] studies <strong>the</strong> impact of mobility and user density <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> performance of<br />
routing protocol for <strong>the</strong> purpose of designing a new routing protocol. I draw similarity<br />
in <strong>the</strong> simulati<strong>on</strong> of mobility and user density effect <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> performance of routing<br />
protocol. However, this research proposed a soluti<strong>on</strong> to <strong>the</strong> mobility problem in terms of<br />
