Abstract

In the most of ad hoc network simulators, the physical layer is considered with a simple approach. Moreover, the information routing is realized in order to only minimize the number of hops or the delay. In this paper, the authors propose two contributions: the first one consists in considering a 3D propagation model taking into account the characteristics of the propagation environment for SISO and MIMO physical layers; the second one allows to introduce the BER as a metric of quality of the radio link used in two routing protocols. The impact of these two contributions is evaluated in two environments.
