Abstract
Mobile networks in compared to wired networks have unique characteristics. In mobile networks, frequent network topology changes may bring about by node mobility, which are rare in wired networks. In contrast to the stable link capacity of wired networks, wireless link capacity continually varies because of the impacts from transmission power, receiver sensitivity, noise, fading and interference. Moreover, wireless mobile networks have a high error rate, power restrictions and bandwidth limitations.
