Application of QNA to analyze the ‘Queueing Network Mobility Model’of MANET

Queueing Theory finds its applications in various versatile domains in modern world. We investigate yet another application of Queueing Theory In modeling of MANET. More specifically, we study the ‘Queueing Network Mobility Model’of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET), its applications and limitations. Motivated by its simplicity and successful performance, we use Queueing Network Analyzer (QNA) to re-analyze the model without the limiting assumptions. The QNA is a powerful tool to analyze large open networks of GI|G|m nodes with infinite buffer stations, and FCFS service discipline. We use QNA to extend the existing ‘Queueing Network Mobility Model’to make it more generic. We also carry out simulations to compare the analytical values of the performance measures. In this report, we present our study of the QNA, and the ‘Queueing Network Mobility Model’of MANET. Then we present the results derived in order to remove the limiting assumptions, and modifying the standard QNA to capture mobility of MANET. Then, we present the numerical results verified by simulations.
