Transmission Power's Impact on Aeronautical Routing Protocol Performance Using the 3D Mobility Model using NS3

Abstract

The rapid growth in aviation wireless communication It has generated a lot of interest from researchers to the Aeronautical Ad hoc Network (AANET). AANET facilitates air-to-air communication and extends ground-to-air communication between airplanes without any fixed infrastructure. AANET is self-organized and dynamic in nature, characterized by very high speed, varying topology, a large geographical area, and high bandwidth. Due to these unique characteristics, routing in AANET and ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) is a challenging task. To establish reliable and efficient communication between airplanes It is important to take into consideration the communication range, which allows aircraft to communicate over longer distances. Performance routing protocol and efficiency are strongly impacted by transmission power. The functionality of routing protocols (e.g., AODV, OLSR, and DSDV) varies based on transmission power and mobility patterns. The effect of mobility models and transmission power on routing protocol performance is assessed using the simulation tool NS-3. We took into account parameters like jitter, packet delivery ratio, throughput, and end-to-end delay
