Simulation-based TCP Performance in Wired/Mobile Ad hoc Networks

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) are an ideal technology in future civilian and military applications and it will become necessary to communicate across MANET and the wired Internet. In this paper, It is investigated that the effect of some key issues, such as hidden terminal and exposed terminal of gateway, the speed of the wireless nodes, the number of flows, on TCP performance in the static and dynamic wired/wireless scenarios. This paper will prove very valuable to future commercial and military wired/MANET networks.
