Mobile Ad Hoc Network Modeling

Model and simulate dynamic, infrastructure-less, wireless networks

Wireless Network Toolbox™ provides you with features and reference examples that enable you to simulate mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). With this toolbox, you can:

  • Model infrastructure-less, self-organizing networks.

  • Configure and simulate node mobility and dynamic topology changes.

  • Use ad-hoc routing protocols such as AODV to adapt to network topology changes.

  • Analyze network performance indicators such as network throughput, routing overhead, packet delivery ratio, and average end-to-end delay.
