Theory begins with a short overview of wireless network and its type like infrastructure base network, wireless personal area network (WPAN), wireless sensor network (WSN) and wireless cellular networks, infrastructure less network. Then short overview of basic MAC algorithms used in wireless medium access control layer. Then special MAC algorithms for world of wireless are discussed. A detailed description of mobile ad-hoc network and its protocols. Finally, it shows performance comparison of three routing protocols of MANET. Using network simulator ns-2 it shows the simulation result.63 pagesenBRAC University thesis are protected by copyright.
