Abstract

Consider a mobile ad hoc network with source-routing. The frequency of route discovery is an important performance metric. Such a metric measures the overhead of transmitting data in the network. Conventionally, this metric was derived from the exponential distribution. While appropriate to light-tailed traffic, the exponential model is inadequate in characterizing heavy-tailed traffic. In this paper, we propose a unified model to take both traffic types into account. The proposed model is based on the reliability analysis of series and parallel connections. Analysis is conducted with the compound Weibull distributions.Network performance is evaluated by the first and second moments.
