nStudy
impact of traffic (not just CBR)
ØPreliminary
results show that MAODV is more sensitive to traffic type
nReduce
flooding overhead inherent in both protocols using pruning and dominant pruning
nMAODV:
lower data delivery ratio, but also lower overheads
ØImprove tree maintenance by pro-actively predicting link
failure and triggering
tree maintenance BEFORE receivers get disconnected
ØResults for
unicast case show that link breakages based on received signal power strength can accurately be predicted and used to
significantly reduce
number of dropped packets
§Reduce
packet drop rates by 30% - 45%
§Increase
control messages by 19% - 43%
§Reduce packet latency by up to 25% (though some increase
possible at low mobility
rates)
