Abstract: The main focus of this paper is to do comparative analysis for mobile ad-hoc protocols based on the area of the coverage with indoor and outdoor surrounding communications. We have taken three routing protocols AODV, DSR, GRP to evaluate the performance by using OPNET simulator. We have evaluated the parameters like delay, throughput and network load to see the performance. It is interesting to see the communication coverage variation in indoor scenarios where obstacles are comparatively high as compared to outdoor surroundings.
