Abstract

Classical studies on ad-hoc networks use heuristic or statistical models to characterize the physical layer of each radio link. In this paper we present an original simulator allowing to quantify these links by a statistical or deterministic channel characterization. The main drawback of the deterministic approaches is the computation time. So, we consider for our study an optimized semi-deterministic characterization of the propagation channel. Finally, we quantify each radio link of an ad-hoc network by a bit error rate (BER) cost function thanks to a WIFI (norm 802.11) digital transmission chain, and we study the routing results obtained by the Dijkstra algorithm
