Abstract

Performance evaluation is a crucially important part of designing any mobile ad-hoc wireless networks. For a more comprehensive evaluation, mathematical analysis is essential, along with simulation. In this paper, we present a detailed analytical model for supporting and evaluating the performance of multi-hop paths in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks. More specifically, we show that the performance of multi-hop paths is affected by the stability of individual link and the distribution of hop count of multi-hop paths, and present a closed-form model for packet delivery ratio of multi-hop paths. The analytical model is validated through simulations using various settings of node mobility and network size.
