Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of several topology update strategies for proactive MANET routing protocols. Although there have been a number of performance studies of proactive MANET routing protocols, little attention has been paid to the impacts of topology update strategies on routing performance. The goal of this paper is to better understand how topology update strategies can contribute to topology maintenance in proactive mobile ad hoc networks and thus impact the overall performance. Our contribution includes (1) a quantitative analysis on the impacts of proactive update intervals on the routing performance; (2) evaluating the performance of reactive topology updates and proactive updates for proactive routing protocols.
