Task:

Simulation$-$Based Evaluation of Routing Protocols in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Objective:

The objective of Phase $1$ is to initiate the simulation$-$based evaluation of selected routing protocols in wireless ad hoc networks. This phase involves setting up the simulation environment, defining specific scenarios, and preparing for subsequent performance evaluation.

Instructions:

Simulation Environment Setup:

$$

Choose a network simulation tool such as NS$-3$ OMNET$++,$ J$-$SIM for the project.

$$

Set up the simulation environment, ensuring that the chosen tool is properly installed and configured.

Routing Protocol Selection:

$$

Choose two or more routing protocols for evaluation in the simulation. Consider protocols that represent different approaches $($e$.$g$.,$ reactive, proactive, hybrid$).$

Simulation Configuration:

$$

Configure the simulation settings based on the defined scenarios.

$$

Adjust parameters such as node density, mobility models, communication range, and network size as per the scenarios.

Metrics Selection:

$$

Choose appropriate metrics to evaluate the performance of routing protocols. Common metrics include packet delivery ratio, end$-$to$-$end delay, and routing overhead.

$$

Ensure that the selected metrics align with the goals of the project and provide meaningful insights into protocol performance.

Simulation Execution:

$$

Run the simulations for each defined scenario with the selected routing protocols.

$$

Capture and collect data related to the chosen metrics during simulation execution.

Documentation:

$$

Document the setup details, configuration parameters, and any challenges faced during simulation setup.

$$

Prepare a summary of the scenarios and protocols chosen for simulation.

Submission Guidelines:

$$

Submit a report summarizing the simulation environment setup, routing protocol selection, defined scenarios, and simulation configuration details.

$$

Include any scripts or configuration files used in the setup.

$$

Record a video about your project and provide the link.

$$

Provide documentation in a clear and organized format
