ABSTRACT
Numerous routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks
(MANETs) have been designed in process information delivery from a source node to a destination node. In this paper, the Taguchi’s design of
experiment (TDE) has been applied to investigate the performance of Destination
Sequence Distance Vector (DSDV) routing protocol in MANETs. The effects of
network parameters namely terrain
sizes, node speeds, network sizes, transmission ranges, transmission rates,
pause times and the number of maximum connections on packet delivery ratio and
routing overhead in medium scale ad hoc networks have been done through
simulation experiments. Through this study, we can rank these factors that may
affect packet delivery ratio and routing overhead. The response performance was
analyzed based on signal-to-noise ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results revealed that the transmission range was the most influential
factor on the packet delivery ratio, followed by terrain size and transmission
rate. The network size had the greatest effect on routing overhead, followed by
the transmission range.

ABSTRAK
Laluan protokol bagi rangkaian
mudah alih sementara (RMS) direka bentuk untuk proses penghantaran maklumat
daripada nod sumber kepada nod destinasi. Dalam kajian ini, reka bentuk
ujikaji Taguchi telah digunakan untuk menyelidik prestasi protokol DSDV dalam
RMS. Pengaruh saiz terain, kelajuan nod, saiz rangkaian, julat transmisi, kadar
transmisi, masa berehat dan bilangan hubungan maksimum ke atas nisbah
penghantaran padatan dan overhed laluan dalam senario rangkaian mudahalih bersaiz
sederhana telah dibuat secara ujikaji bersimulasi. Melalui kajian ini, susunan
faktor mengikut keutamaan masing-masing, berdasarkan pengaruhnya terhadap
dapatan nisbah penghantaran padatan dan overhed laluan dapat dikenalpasti. Data
yang diperoleh daripada ujikaji bersimulasi telah dianalisis berdasarkan nisbah
isyarat-kepada-kebisingan dan analisis varians (ANOVA). Hasil kajian
menunjukkan faktor yang paling mempengaruhi nisbah penghantaran padatan ialah
julat transmisi, diikuti saiz terain dan kadar transmisi. Manakala saiz
rangkaian merupakan faktor yang sangat mempengaruhi overhed laluan diikuti saiz
transmisi.
