Performance Comparison of Mac layer protocols in Mobile Adhoc Networks

Author : B.Gomathy 1 D.Sathiya 2

Date of Publication :30th November 2017

Abstract: Ad hoc Network based on the IEEE 802.11 standard is one of the fastest growing wireless access technologies in the world today. It is a collection of nodes which dynamically form a temporary network without any infrastructure. The broadcast nature of wireless network critically depends upon the medium access control (MAC) protocols. In this paper, medium access protocol used are CSMA, MACA and Cooperative Medium Access Control (CMAC). These are compared on the basis of throughput and end to end delay using a simulator, for efficient MAC protocol among these. The result shows that the CMAC performs well as compared to CSMA and MACA in terms of throughput, end to end delay
