Wireless Sensor Network

MANET implementation simulation

Aim:
To create a basic MANET implementation simulation for Packet animation and Packet Trace

Software Used:
Omnet++ 5.7, INET 4.3.6 framework

Theory:
1) MANET (Mobile Adhoc NETwork) also called a wireless Adhoc network or Adhoc
wireless network that usually has a routable networking environment on top of a Link
Layer ad hoc network
2) They consist of a set of mobile nodes connected wirelessly in a self-configured, self-
healing network without having a fixed infrastructure.
3) MANET nodes are free to move randomly as the network topology changes
frequently.
4) Each node behaves as a router as they forward traffic to other specified nodes in the
network.
5) MANET may operate a standalone fashion or they can be part of larger internet.
6) They form a highly dynamic autonomous topology with the presence of one or
multiple different transceivers between nodes.
7) The main challenge for the MANET is to equip each device to continuously maintain
the information required to properly route traffic.

The following are some of the important characteristics of MANET

1) Dynamic Topologies
2) Bandwidth constrained, variable capacity links:
3) Autonomous Behavior:
4) Energy Constrained Operation:
5) Limited Security:
6) Less Human Intervention:

A Typical example of MANET

Wireless Sensor Network

We create an MANET using Omnet++ and INET through the following steps

Step 1: Open the Omnet++ software and click on inet4 folder

Step 2: Now select the examples folder and then in that folder select manetrouting folder

Step 3 : In manetrouting folder click dymo folder and then load the DYMONetwork.ned and
omnetpp.ini files by double clicking

Step 4: Select omnetpp.ini file and click on parameters, we need to add mobility to the nodes

Step 5: For adding a new parameter click on add button and add the parameter **.mobility.speed

Step 6: Set the value for **.mobility.speed = 400mps

Step 7: Now we run the simulation with 5 mobile hosts forming MANET and get the
following output

Since the nodes have mobility, after sometime their positions would change and we get

Hence the given MANET has been simulated with 5 hosts
