Wireless networks are currently the frequent access connection to the local network or the Internet. Until 2005 there was no support in the 802.11 standard priority data and the use of multimedia services in these networks is problematic. Thesis deals with the standard IEEE 802.11 standard and quality of service support including IEEE 802.11e. They discussed methods of access to transmission medium, differences in the MAC sublayer, the reader issues in the transmission of priority data and the requirements for these data. In Opnet Modeler was created wireless network with access points and stations on which they are carried out simulations at different strain of transmitted data. It studied the difference in the use of DCF and EDCF method, used in the network with QoS support. In particular, it examined the behavior of priority voice and video data in both networks. The focus is on key parameters such as throughput, dropping data, packet loss, delay, jitter and the size of broadcasting front. The measured data are analyzed, and differences in the network without the support and promoting the quality of services are compared and evaluated. Part of this work is the role of laboratory in the Opnet Modeler.

This work deals with the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System problems. It researches the parameters of influencing the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network behaviour where is the Quality of Services support necessary. The aim of this master’s thesis is the simulation and evaluation of scenarios running real-time UMTS services in Opnet Modeler environment.

The final part of the thesis was creating the laboratory problem on the basis experience gained.

This master thesis includes a short review of the structure of WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) technologies 802.11a/b/g, the description of their physical interface and the description of the basic medium access control mechanisms implementing the PCF (Point Coordination Function) and DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) methods. I mainly focused on the detailed evaluation the new 802.11e standard which was designed to efficiently support real-time services in wireless environment. To provide QoS (Quality of Service) support, this standard specifies the EDCA (Ehanced Distributed Channel Access) and HCF (Hybrid Coordination Function) medium access control methods for the shared wireless environment. The next chapter of my work is devoted to the verification of the theoretical results in OPNET Modeler simulation environment. I studied in details the WLAN model available in OPNET Modeler, the effect of data-flow classification into separate categories and the configuration of several access method parameters. Next, I created my own WLAN model according to the 802.11e standard. This model contains four applications two of them with real-time requirements. The model is divided into several scenarios, each focusing on different aspects of wireless network technologies like QoS support and it´s dependency on the number of clients, mobility of wireless terminals and comparison of the 802.11a/b/g and the 802.11e technology.

The thesis deals with MANET networks and it focuses on the routing process. Most attention is paid to the routing protocols AODV and OLSR. These protocols are described in the detail. The aim of the thesis is to create a simulation model of MANET network in OPNET Modeler environment. In this model the AODV protocol is configured. In order to achieve improved characteristics of the network traffic the routing protocol parameters are optimized. Furthermore the process model of AODV protocol in this environment is studied and extended by a new type of message, which allows a transfer of current transmission speed of MANET station network interface. Current transmission rate of stations is retrieved from the statistics. Every station periodically sends a message to neighboring nodes. The node stores the information into the file when a new message arrives.
