Analysis of Routing Protocols in MANET Networks

Abstract

The scientific article is a review and comparative analysis of routing protocols for MANETs. The study examines the main protocols connected to mobile ad hoc networks such as B.A.T.M.A.N, BMX7, OLSRv1, Babel and provides a detailed analysis of their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. To empirically evaluate performance, tests were carried out in a network simulator. The results of the study allow us to draw conclusions about the effectiveness and reliability of each of the monitoring protocols under various operating conditions of MANET. This article is a valuable contribution to the field of MANET research and can be used in the development of new technologies and solutions for mobile wireless networks. The work is relevant and practically significant because it helps researchers and engineers make informed decisions when choosing the optimal routing protocol in MANET networks. The results obtained can be useful in the design of mobile applications, emergency communication systems, transport management and other areas where the efficient operation of wireless networks is important.
