Abstract

Most of routing protocols are designed based on omni-antennas. The existing routing protocols with omni-antennas show good performances on adhoc ground network. For some other applications, such as inter-satellite communications, directional antennas are a better choice because directional antennas have advantages in long range transmission, energy-saving and reduction of radio interference. However, directional antenna may lead to the performance degradation of existing routing protocols because it introduces new MAC problems such as hidden terminal and deafness problem, and different antenna sweeping schemes also complicate the schedules in physical layer. In this paper, we will make the performance comparison of different routing protocol including AODV, OLSR, Bellmanford with directional antennas based on metrics of throughput, end-to-end delay, jitter. Our will deeply investigate the main factors affecting routing performance, and also perform extensive simulations under different scenarios using Qualnet 6.0 software. The simulation results show that AODV outperforms the OLSR, bellmanford. AODV is a good candidate in satellite networks.
