Abstract
As wireless devices become more and more popular, ad
hoc networks grow in the number of nodes as well as the
complexity of communication among the large number of
nodes. However, due to the limitation of simulation technologies,
it is either impossible or very hard to investigate
the scalability of ad hoc routing protocols in very large–
scale wireless networks. In this paper, a comprehensive simulation
study is conducted of the performance of an on–
demand routing protocol on a very large–scale, with as
many as 50,000 nodes in the network. We address the scalability
analysis based on various network sizes, traffic load,
and mobility. The reasons for packet loss are analyzed and
categorized at each layer. Based on the observations, we optimize
the parameter selection and try to exhaust the scalability
boundary of the on–demand routing protocol for wireless ad hoc networks.
