摘要：The wireless adhoc network is comprised of nodes (it can be static or mobile) with wireless radio interface. These nodes are connected among themselves without central infrastructure and are free to move. It is a multihop process because of the limited transmission range of energy constrained wireless nodes. Thus, in such a multihop network system each node (also known as router) is independent, self-reliant and capable of routing the packets over the dynamic network topology and therefore routing becomes very important and basic operation of adhoc network. Many protocols are reported in this field but it is difficult to decide which one is best. In this paper table driven protocol STAR and on demand routing protocols AODV, DSR based on IEEE 802.11 are surveyed and characteristic summary of these routing protocols is presented. Their performance is analyzed on throughput, jitter, packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay performance measuring metrics by varying CBR data traffic load and then their performance is also compared using QualNet 5.0.2 network simulator.
