Chaining Mobility Models for AOMDV and DSDV protocols in FANETs

Abstract

Flying Ad-hoc Networks are the subtype of MANETs where the collection of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) communicates with each other for sharing the information. The mobility models are designed to represent the movement of nodes. The major role of mobility model is to create a realistic simulation environment and evaluate the performance of different routing protocols. The performance of routing protocols varies according to the mobility models. The main purpose of this research is to propose a new chain mobility model integrating existing Random Waypoint Mobility Model and Gauss-Markov Mobility Model. These protocols are analyzed for using purpose mobility chain in terms of different Quality of Service parameters such as Packet Delivery Ratio, End-To-End Delay, and Throughput. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the performance of two routing protocols of FANETs are AOMDV (reactive) and DSDV (proactive) under the different mobility models. The performance of AOMDV and DSDV routing protocols are analyzed under the Random Waypoint, Gauss-Markov, and the proposed Chain Mobility Model. The simulation can be done by using an NS-2 simulator. The results show that AOMDV protocol performed better in terms of PDR but the DSDV performed better in End-To-End Delay when the number of nodes increases under the proposed Chain Mobility Model rather than the Random Waypoint and GaussMarkov Mobility Model.
