Limitations in optimizing the routing protocol in ad hoc mobile networks
Abstract: The margin between real ability of connection among mobile nodes and actuality of knowledge about current topology at routing level is identified. The connection probability is considered and determined for the routing as well as physical layer level. The difference between them indicates that the routing protocols do not fully use the network abilities, which is confirmed by the results of simulation tests presented in the paper. The results for the modified version of the routing protocol with increased efficiency are also presented. Nonetheless, there is still some space for optimization to improve protocols efficiency measured, for instance, by the packet delivery ratio (PDR).
