Joint Topology Control and Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. Their use is critical for communications on a daily basis, which depend on our ability to make such networks work. Different types of wireless devices (referred as nodes) comprise an Ad Hoc network.

Joint Topology Control and Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Their use is critical for communications on a daily basis, which depend on our ability to make such networks work. Different types of wireless devices (referred as nodes) comprise an Ad Hoc network. http://www.ercim.org/publication/Ercim_News/enw57/santi.html A limiting factor in their operation is usually the battery life of the network node equipment. This research examines how to bring together ways of controlling the flow of data over such networks simultaneously with minimising the intra-network interference and maximising the network battery-dependent lifetime. http://www.completewebresource.com/wireless-area%20network.JPG The network simulator being used is OPNET. Its ability to represent a network at every stage proved to be very accurate and helpful to realise how everything works in real life. OPNET Modeler 12.0 on Solaris 9 OPNET website: http://www.opnet.com/ The current model consists of two mobile nodes and the object is to exchange information between them, collect a number of statistics, view the results and draw certain conclusions.
