Abstract :Many factors affect the quality of wireless networks, but one of the most important is the movement between the nodes connected in one network. This movement leads to the presence of large packet loss as well as the impact on the energy of each node. Thus, it generally affects the network performance; several familiar routing protocols, such as AODV, DSR, and DSDV, are used to communicate between all nodes in the wireless network. This paper presents a comparison of performance and study of nodes in a single network based on Interactive Protocols (AODV) to study the metrics such as transmission rate, packet delivery rate, the average delay of Using the NS-2, determine the network, packet loss rate, and residual power at each node in the network simulator. The simulation results showed that increasing the traffic of the nodes increases the rate of packet loss and increases the remaining energy in the nodes in which there was a greater loss of packets, thus reducing the rate of packet delivery between the nodes, so the more the nodes have less movement, the higher the packet delivery rate and the lower the packet loss rate.
