Abstract

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of autonomous nodes or terminals that communicate with each other by forming a multihop radio network. These nodes maintain connectivity in a decentralized manner. MANET is characterized by a rapidly changing topology. Nowadays, simulation is the research tool of the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) community. NS2 is one of the most popular open source network simulators [7]. It has a vital open source code to develop new protocols in mobile ad hoc networks. This work presents one data mining technique that may improve the MANET simulation in NS2.
