An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a
temporary network without the use of any fixed network infrastructure or centralized
administration. Due to the limitations in the wireless environment, it may be
necessary for one mobile host to enlist the aid of other hosts in forwarding a packet
to its destination. In order to enable communication within the network, a routing
protocol is needed to discover routes between nodes. The primary goal of ad hoc
network routing protocols is to establish routes between node pairs so that messages
may be delivered reliably and in a timely manner.
The basic access method in IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks is the Distributed
Coordination Function (DCF), which provides a fair medium access. Enhanced
Distributed Coordination Function (EDCF) has been developed to provide service
differentiation among different traffic flows. In this thesis, we investigate the performance of the EDCF with routing protocols / Direct Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) by
simulations.
