Abstract
The era of multimedia communication is a major part and partial of each and every user life each task now depends very much on the Internet. Line-of-sight is the biggest problem many are facing, while using Internet. In particular, the problem of mobile station tracking at various base stations is considered. The data is transferred more quickly in a flat area where there are no obstacles. If there were obstacles between the mobile station and the base station, there will be lot of inefficiency in data transfer. The overview of line-of-sight in mobile ad hoc networks, various problems that arise and impairment concerned with line of sight are deliberated in this paper. The various QoS parameters are considered for the evaluation of LoS in mobile ad hoc networks with and without obstacles.
