Packet Loss Analysis in MANET Simulation Based on AODV and 802.11 Protocols

Packet loss problems in Mobile Ad Hoc Network(MANET) simulation based on AODV protocol and 802.11 standard was investigated in this paper.By analyzing the delivery and operation process of data packets within different layers of TCP/IP protocol stack,all kinds of causes probably resulting in packet loss were found out,and then a comprehensive and reliable packet loss statistic model was presented in this paper.Finally,the proposed packet loss statistic model is validated by means of simulations under different scenarios.
