In most studies on mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), simulation models are used for the
evaluation of devices and protocols. Typically, such simulations focus on the specific higher …

All analytical and simulation research on ad~ hoc wireless networks must necessarily model
radio propagation using simplifying assumptions. We provide a comprehensive review of six …

In this paper, we examine the communication model widely used in simulation studies of
mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We find that the communication model uses an overly …

After almost a decade of research into ad hoc networking, MANET technology has not yet
affected our way of using wireless networks. In this paper we discuss lessons to draw and …

Simulation and emulation are valuable techniques for the evaluation of algorithms and
protocols used in mobile ad-hoc networks. However, these techniques always require the …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are an emerging class of network architectures that are
characterized by their highly dynamic topology, limited resources (ie, bandwidth and power) …

Simulation environments are an important tool for the evaluation of new concepts in
networking. The study of mobile ad hoc networks depends on understanding protocols from …

This research was supported, in part, by the NCCR" Mobile Information and Communication
Systems", a research program of the Swiss National Science Foundation, and by a gift from …

Simulation is the research tool of choice for a majority of the mobile ad hoc network
(MANET) community. However, while the use of simulation has increased, the credibility of …
