ABSTRACT
In ad hoc networks, transmitters use radio signals for communication. Generally, each node can only be a transmitter (TX) or a receiver (RX) at a time. Communication among mobile nodes is limited within a certain transmission range. And nodes share the same frequency domain to communicate. So, within such a range, only one transmission channel is used, covering the entire bandwidth. Unlike wired networks, packet delay is caused by not only the traffic load at the node, but also the traffic load at the neighboring nodes, which is called “traffic interference.”
