}An ad hoc mobile network is a collection of nodes, each of which communicates over wireless channels and is capable of movement. Wireless nodes have the unique capability of transmission at different power levels. As the transmission power is varied, a tradeoff exists between the number of hops from source to destination and the overall bandwidth available to individual nodes. Because both battery life and channel bandwidth are limited resources in mobile networks, it is important to ascertain…

Performance Analysis of Traffic Load and Node Density in Ad hoc Networks

This paper explores the effect different traffic loads have on the network performance when the transmission power is varied and shows that in order to find an optimum node density, both the traffic load and the rate of mobility have to be taken into account.
