Improvement and Simulation of AODV Routing Algorithm Based on NS-3

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of high packet loss rate and poor real-time performance of data transmission among the smart robots after the mobile ad hoc network is formed, we study and improve the traditional AODV routing protocol. Smart robot uses signal strength as a basis for whether to forward packets during route discovery in the proposed AODV and it will control their own motion after acknowledging the forwarding of packets. With NS-3 software the simulation results show that the improved AODV routing protocol improves the success rate of data transmission and reduces the average delay compared with the traditional AODV routing protocol.
