Abstract—The selection of an appropriate routing protocol isa key issue when designing a scalable and efficient wireless networks. Various routing protocols have been used in wireless networks. In this paper, we investigate different routing protocols and evaluate their performances on 802.16 WiMAXnetworks. Using simulation, different routing protocols have been tested with various network parameters. Results show that DSDV in general out performs other routing protocols.
Index Terms—WiMax, Ad Hoc Networks, Routing Protocols, Performance Analysis.
