| When examining mobile ad hoc networks, mostly generic models are used to reduce the complexity. Node movement is approximated by simple modbility models such as the Random Waypoint model. Spatial constraints caused by the environment are rarely considered. The task of theis thesis is to show that this simplified approach may be insufficient to characterize the topology of MANETs. A number of rules generally obeyed by mobile nodes is presented as well as a set of metrics to express the influence on routing protocols. To demonstrating the key points of these results, a topology generator is developed. Scenario files based on representative types of mobile ad hoc networks can be created using this tool. | |
