The Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) is an infrastructureless network consisting of wireless mobile nodes. MANET is a self configuring network and the topology of the network keeps on changing as the nodes move randomly and organize themselves in an arbitrarily manner. Many protocols have been proposed for such networks. One such protocol is Adhoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. AODV is preferred because it minimizes the routing overhead than the other protocols and hence enhancing the performance of the network. In this paper, the performance analysis of AODV routing protocol is done on the basis of few performance metric parameters such as average end-to-end delay, throughput and packet delivery ratio. The simulation is done in MATLAB. Keywords- MANET, AODV, MATLAB 1. Introduction Wireless Communication is one of the emerging technologies which allow users to access information and services electronically, despite their geographical position. Wireless communication can be classified as: Infrastuctured network and Infrastructureless network. Mobile Adhoc network is a special kind of infrastructureless network. It is a collection of mobile nodes that move randomly and dynamically [1]. Due to the mobile nature of the nodes the network topology keeps on changing. Each node acts as a host and a router forwarding and receiving packets from the other nodes in the network that may not be in the transmission range of the network. The nodes in MANETs discover other nodes dynamically. Routing in such networks is a challenging task
