<p>In the last few years, the exploit of ad hoc wireless networks has increased thanks to their</p><p>commercial and military potential. An application of wireless ad hoc networks is Bluetooth</p><p>technology, which allows wireless communication among different devices. As a military</p><p>application, we can report the establishment of communications between groups of soldiers in</p><p>a not safe territory. Additionally, ad hoc networks are useful in emergency operations, where</p><p>no fixed infrastructure is feasible.</p><p>A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) represents a system of wireless mobile nodes that can</p><p>self-organize freely and dynamically into arbitrary and temporary network topology. On one</p><p>hand, they can be quick deployed anywhere at anytime as they eliminate the complexity of</p><p>infrastructure setup. On the other hand, other problems arise, such as route errors or higher</p><p>overhead, caused by the mobility of nodes.</p><p>The main goal of this master’s thesis has been the improvement of the communication</p><p>between MAC 802.11 protocol and DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) protocol, to run in the ns-</p><p>2 network simulator.</p>
