Abstract

A wireless Ad-hoc network is comprised of wireless nodes, which attempt to communicate with each other in the absence of any fixed communication infrastructure. In this paper we report the experimental results obtained from establishing a small physical network. These include the measurement of network throughput using TCP and UDP, as well as the delay in transmission of packets using TCP. These results are then compared with those obtained from simulations that are carried out using OPtimised NETwork (OPNET) simulator. Correlation between the two sets of results is found to be satisfactory enough to validate the simulation technique and process. Given this validation, based on similar simulation techniques, the investigation of a larger scale Ad-hoc network is then carried out. The simulation results of the larger scale network confirm our previously obtained results.
