Abstract

This paper, uses computer simulation to study the impact of wireless channel on the performance of Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes at higher microwave carrier frequencies greater than 2 GHz. Simulation results shows that as the path loss exponent of the propagation model increases the received signal power at individual mobile nodes also increases. The path loss exponent had no effect on the end-to-end throughput of the DSR protocol for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks.
