Abstract
In an ad hoc network, mobile nodes communicate with each other using multi-hop wireless links. There is no stationary infrastructure; for instance, there are no base stations. Each node in the network also acts as a router, forwarding data packets for other nodes. A central challenge in the design and evaluation of ad hoc networks is the estimation and the monitoring of network resources such as available bandwidth. Considering the dynamic routing protocols that can efficiently find routes between two communicating nodes, the high level of loss and the interference between node transmissions, the available bandwidth measurement techniques already provided by the literature may be inaccurate. Our goal is to carry out a systematic performance study of SloPS’s [1] behavior when acting with three dynamic routing protocols for ad hoc networks: the Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) [2, 3], the Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector protocol (AODV) [4, 5] and the Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) [6].
