Abstract

The interest in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is growing and there are potential uses in several fields such as collaborative computing and multimedia communications. Thus, there is an increasing need to support multiple communication flows in the network, while guaranteeing a good performance. In this paper, we analyze the performance of MANET by simulations, considering Random Waypoint Mobility (RWM) model and investigate the effect of AODV´s HELLO packets in the network performance. We consider different mobility degrees for simulations. From results, we show that, activating the HELLO function improves the performance of MANET regarding throughput.
