How to Start Dynamic Routing Projects Using MATLAB

To create a Dynamic routing in MATLAB has includes the creating network replication in which the routes alter the dynamically we alter the network conditions, like as varying traffic loads, connection failures, or node mobility. Here’s a guide to starting a Dynamic Routing Project in MATLAB:

Steps to Start Dynamic Routing Projects Using MATLAB

  1. Understand Dynamic Routing

Dynamic routing techniques are bringing up-to-date routes in real time based on:

  • Traffic congestion.
  • Link failures.
  • Node mobility.
  • Network topologies are changing.

Common Dynamic Routing Protocols:

  • Distance Vector Routing for sample RIP.
  • Link State routing for instance OSPF.
  • Hybrid Routing such as EIGRP.
  1. Set Project Objectives

Define what you want to achieve:

  • Replicate the dynamic routing in a network.
  • Associate the performance for static and dynamic routing.
  • Establish the adaptability to precise movements such as connection failures.
  1. Define Network Topology

Characterize the network using an adjacency matrix or graph. Every edge weight is characterizes the connection cost such as latency, bandwidth, or congestion level.

Example:

% Define adjacency matrix (weights represent initial link costs)

adjMatrix = [

0 10 0 0 0 0;

10 0 15 0 0 0;

0 15 0 20 0 0;

0 0 20 0 10 5;

0 0 0 10 0 15;

0 0 0 5 15 0

];

% Create and visualize the network graph

G = graph(adjMatrix, ‘upper’);

plot(G, ‘EdgeLabel’, G.Edges.Weight);

  1. Implement a Dynamic Routing Algorithm

Select a dynamic routing method that brings up-to-date paths according to the network changes:

(a) Dynamic Shortest Path Routing

Dynamically recomputed the minimum paths using Dijkstra’s algorithm:

function [path, cost] = dynamicShortestPath(adjMatrix, src, dest)

% Create a directed graph

G = digraph(adjMatrix);

% Find the shortest path from src to dest

[path, cost] = shortestpath(G, src, dest);

end

(b) Link State Updates

Bring up-to-date the network according to the altering connection states:

function updatedMatrix = updateLinkState(adjMatrix, traffic)

% Add traffic penalty to link weights

updatedMatrix = adjMatrix + traffic;

updatedMatrix(updatedMatrix == 0) = Inf; % Set no links to Inf

end

(c) Failure Resilience

Eliminate the connection which fails from the network:

function updatedMatrix = handleLinkFailure(adjMatrix, failedLink)

% Remove a failed link by setting its cost to Inf

updatedMatrix = adjMatrix;

updatedMatrix(failedLink(1), failedLink(2)) = Inf;

updatedMatrix(failedLink(2), failedLink(1)) = Inf;

end

  1. Simulate Dynamic Conditions

Replicate the real-time events such as changing the congestion, connection failures, or node mobility.

(a) Simulate Traffic Load

Add random traffic to link weights:

traffic = randi([0, 5], size(adjMatrix));

updatedAdjMatrix = updateLinkState(adjMatrix, traffic);

(b) Simulate Link Failures

Eliminate a precise connection from the network:

failedLink = [3, 4]; % Example: Link between nodes 3 and 4 fails

failedAdjMatrix = handleLinkFailure(updatedAdjMatrix, failedLink);

(c) Simulate Node Mobility

Bring up-to-date the adjacency matrix according to the variation node positions or connections.

  1. Visualize Routing Changes

Show how routes adapt over time in response to dynamic conditions.

Example:

% Visualize updated routes

src = 1; dest = 6; % Source and destination nodes

[path, cost] = dynamicShortestPath(failedAdjMatrix, src, dest);

plot(G, ‘EdgeLabel’, G.Edges.Weight);

highlight(plot(G), path, ‘EdgeColor’, ‘r’, ‘LineWidth’, 2);

  1. Evaluate Performance

Measure metrics to assess routing efficiency:

  • Path Optimality: Minimum path associate the theoretical optimal.
  • Routing Adaptability: Time taken to adjust the variation.
  • Network Throughput: Entire data transmitted successfully for network throughput.
  • Latency: Delay among the source and destination.
  1. Extend the Project

Enhance your project by:

  • Associate the dynamic routing procedures such as Dijkstra vs. Bellman-Ford.
  • Establish the machine learning designed for congestion prediction.
  • For replicating the real-world networks of the larger.
  1. Document Your Work

Include:

  • The procedures and replication for the MATLAB code.
  • The routing paths involve the Graphical visualizations and change the network.
  • Examine the outcomes and assumptions.

Sample Code for Dynamic Routing Simulation

Here’s a complete sample:

% Define initial network

adjMatrix = [

0 2 0 0 0 0;

2 0 3 0 0 0;

0 3 0 4 0 0;

0 0 4 0 2 1;

0 0 0 2 0 3;

0 0 0 1 3 0

];

% Simulate traffic and failures

traffic = randi([0, 5], size(adjMatrix)); % Random traffic load

updatedAdjMatrix = updateLinkState(adjMatrix, traffic); % Update link costs

failedLink = [3, 4]; % Simulate link failure

failedAdjMatrix = handleLinkFailure(updatedAdjMatrix, failedLink);

% Compute new routing path

src = 1; dest = 6;

[path, cost] = dynamicShortestPath(failedAdjMatrix, src, dest);

% Visualize network and routing path

G = graph(failedAdjMatrix, ‘upper’);

plot(G, ‘EdgeLabel’, G.Edges.Weight);

highlight(plot(G), path, ‘EdgeColor’, ‘r’, ‘LineWidth’, 2);
