Simulation is the research tool of choice for a majority of the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) community. However, while the use of simulation has increased, the credibility of the simulation results has decreased. To determine the state of MANET simulation studies, we surveyed the 2000-2005 proceedings of the ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (MobiHoc). We present the results of our survey and summarize common simulation study pitfalls. We develop standards and algorithms that help enable MANET researchers to move toward the goal of simulation-based research with credible scenarios. We also document a large variable analysis of the Location Aided Routing (LAR) protocol. This study discovers several variables that have a significant impact on LAR performance, but are not always considered in a MANET simulation study. Finally, we discuss tools we created that aid the development of credible simulation studies. We offer these results to the community with the hope of improving the credibility of MANET simulation-based studies.
