چکیده

Network simulation tools are frequently used to analyze performance of MANET protocols and applications. They commonly offer only simple radio propagation models that neglect obstacles of a propagation environment. In this paper, we integrate a more accurate radio propagation model into a simulation tool. The model is based on ray tracing and considers geographic data of the simulation area. We prove that the usage of a more precise propagation model changes simulated connection topologies considerably. Consequently, we obtain different performance evaluation results. To our best knowledge, no other study of MANETs has been performed so far with such a detailed radio propagation model. Hence, this paper also gives new insights on the realistic performance of MANETs in outdoor environments.

On the Robustness of Simple Indoor MANET Simulation Models

We show that simple radio propagation and node mobility models widely used in MANET evaluation are not robust in indoor environments. Robust simulation models let researchers extrapolate simulation results and reach reliable conclusions about expected protocol performance. We experiment with two representative MANET routing protocols under different mobility and radio propagation models with de...

Impact of Radio Propagation Model and Mobility in On-demand Routing Protocol of Manet

Accuracy of routing protocol performance in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) depends on many parameters. Besides many parameters propagation model and node velocity are the two among them. Node mobility is responsible for network topology and propagation model for calculating signal strength at receiver. In wireless network MANET suffers a huge loss in performance due to obstacle between transmiss...

Realistic Mobility and Propagation Framework for MANET Simulations

Two main steps on the way to more realistic simulations of mobile ad-hoc networks are the introduction of realistic mobility and sophisticated radio wave propagation models. Both have strong impact on the performance of mobile ad-hoc networks, e.g. the performance of routing protocols changes with these models. In this paper we introduce a framework which combines realistic mobility and radio w...
