Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are a setup of several independent nodes that are capable of transmitting any kind of data by themselves. In MANETs, the node themselves act as routers and the setup can either be single hop or multihop depending on the application. These devices have wide and varied applications; like in military deployment, for network set up in meetings, electronic classrooms etc. As the applications and use of MANETs has increased, it has also become imminent for MANETs to support multimedia transmission, high quality data transmission and also to work efficiently in a congestion scenario. To support these parameters it is necessary to have a robust routing protocol that provides good Quality of Service (QoS) parameters under different conditions. In this paper the authors simulate transmission of multimedia traffic with AODV nthBR routing protocol for a high density MANET setup. AODV nthBR routing protocol is also simulated for a congestion scenario and the results are then compared with the existing routing protocols.
