A Wireless Adhoc Network is a group of wireless mobile nodes is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. Each node operates not only as an end system, but also as a router to forward packets. In this paper mainly focused on MAC layer because this layer is most important for data communication to control the packet loss and error, we analyze MAC layer 802.16 and 802.11 networks using Ad hoc on-demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol under MANET by varying pause time and maximum speed. These simulations are carried out using the Network simulator version-2. From the results it is seen that end to end delay is less, PDF is more packet loss is minimum on varying maximum speed and pause time of 802.16 when compared with 802.11. hence 802.16 shows better performance as compared with 802.11.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
