Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks: Performance Analysis and Implementation Review

The objective of this project is to comprehensively evaluate reference [1], which presents delay and throughput analysis for multihop wireless ad hoc networks. Our review encompasses critical examination of theoretical assumptions, analytical modeling techniques, simulation implementations, and comparative performance results. We will analyze node selection algorithms using metrics like signal strength and node density, implement routing protocols (including proactive and reactive approaches) with path optimization functions, and examine network topology configurations through adjacency matrix representations. Additionally, we investigate dynamic topology changes using graph theory algorithms, channel condition modeling through SNR calculations, and their impact on network performance using QoS parameters. The validation process incorporates real-world application scenarios with network simulation tools, implementing performance monitoring functions for packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay measurements. This research aims to provide accurate, comprehensive references for optimizing multihop ad hoc network performance, supporting both academic research and practical implementations through detailed code-based analysis and validation methodologies.
