Abstract

In this paper, we describe a simulation study of the impact of wireless channel on Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol performance at microwave carrier frequencies above 2 GHz. Simulation results show that at microwave carrier frequencies above 2 GHz, when the two-slope path loss model is used for channel modelling, the breakpoint distance affect the end-to-end throughput of the DSR protocol in Mobile Wireless Ad Hoc Network (MANET), whilst at frequencies below 2 GHz the end-to-end throughput for the free space and the two-slope path loss model was the same.
