Title: The Impact of Different Radio Propagation Models for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) in Urban Area Environment
Abstract: 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. The radio wave propagation model has a strong impact on the results of the simulation run. This work shows different radio propagation models into a simulation tool. The model is based on data of the simulation area in urban area. Consequently, we obtain different performance evaluation results. This paper gives insights on the effect of different propagation models for MANETs in indoor and outdoor environments and presents the parameters and the results of simulating using network simulator.
