Power and Congestion Control Analysis for MANET in NS3
Abstract: AbstractRouting to MANET is difficult due to the navigation feature. The main causes of connection failure are mobility, interference, and congestion. Mobility means that each node is free to move within its transport area. The interference is due to a collision and a hidden node. A hidden node means two nodes outside the radio frequency range of each one while trying to transmit data to an intermediate node located in …
