Abstract :
MANET is a network that is consisted of mobile nodes without control of base stations. Since the network includes mobile nodes, path determination and topology composition to connect nodes are not an easy issue to solve. Especially, estimating adequate number of mobile nodes for a network area is very important for optimizing the number of nodes to cover the whole communication area for experiment. In this paper we propose a decision method for the number of necessary nodes in mobile ad hoc networks for covering and collecting data from an arranged area. The performance of proposed method is evaluated with NS-2 simulator.
