Simulation and Performance Analysis of Adhoc Routing Protocols in Wi-Fi & WiMax Networks Using QualNet

This paper investigates & undertakes simulation based study of Adhoc Routing Protocols in Wi-Fi (802.11b) & WiMax (802.16e) Networks. In this paper comparison of four Routing Protocols AODV, DYMO, OLSR & IERP is done in a multicellular high mobility Wi-Fi & WiMax Networks using QualNet 5.0 Simulator. The metrics used for performance evaluation are average jitter, throughput, end-to-end delay, signals received with errors, average queue length, packets to application layer, total packets Received at the Receiver end. The results of both the Networks (Wi-Fi & WiMax) are compared.
