MATLAB Simulation of Enhanced AODV Routing Algorithm

In this paper, we present an enhanced routing algorithm based on Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol, designed to achieve superior routing efficiency in large-scale network environments. The paper provides detailed explanations of the algorithm's operational principles, with MATLAB simulations conducted to validate its practical feasibility. The simulation implementation includes route discovery optimization through enhanced route request (RREQ) flooding control and route maintenance mechanisms with improved route error (RERR) handling. Simulation results demonstrate that this improved algorithm achieves better routing performance metrics, including reduced packet delay and higher packet delivery ratios, particularly in larger network configurations. Additionally, we performed comprehensive performance analysis comparing the enhanced algorithm against traditional AODV implementation, evaluating parameters such as end-to-end delay, routing overhead, and network throughput. The MATLAB code structure incorporates modular design with key functions for route establishment, neighbor discovery, and packet forwarding logic.
