A Survey on Propagation Models, Routing Protocol Models and Mobility Models of Wireless Networks

Abstract

In this paper, authors have provided a detailed categorization of various propagation model, different routing and mobility techniques currently used in wireless networks. This paper presents different propagation models, their path loss behavior and propagation techniques. Different routing techniques with distinguishing feature have been proposed, where numbers of parameters are selected for comparison to suggest which protocol may perform best in different wireless networks. Finally, highlighting operation and analysis of different mobility techniques are discussed. This organization and description provide ideas to select best models depending upon its applicability in a particular application.
