Abstract:

In order to address some issues of the routing protocols in the Ad Hoc network,such as poor validity and large control overhead,we use the OPNET simulation tool for the performance of AODV(Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) routing protocol simulation. From the network transmission delay, network throughput, network load and other key parameters of the simulation results,we can see that AODV routing protocol performance is relatively stable.That is,on-demand routing protocols are more suitable for Ad Hoc networks than the active routing protocols. The results of this study have practical significance to the researchers in the Ad Hoc network.

Key words: Ad Hoc network, routing protocol, Ad Hoc on-demand distance vector
