Abstract

In this paper, we describe a computer simulation study of the sensitivity of Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol performance to wireless channel at microwave carrier frequencies greater than 2 GHz. Performance simulation results show that at microwave carrier frequencies greater than 2 GHz, the break point distance effect the performance of the Dynamic Source Routing Protocol in Mobile Wireless Ad Hoc Network (MANET). Whilst at microwave carrier frequencies less than 2 GHz, the break point distance has no effect on the delay and BER of the Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (DSR) as compared to the free space propagation loss model.
