Figure 2. T-U graph for a node with 7 We used Opnet simulations to investigate the
neighbours, each transmits at x pkVsec (pps) accuracy of our estimates and compare them to those
provided by other known techniques. DSR was used as
2.3. Throughput Available to a Node the MANET routing protocol, and IEEE 802.11 as
wireless MAC protocol, with fixed transmission range
556
of 250 metres. The IEEE 802.11 was operated in DCF
mode at lIMbps, with the RTSKTS mechanism
disabled. The data packet size was 1500 bytes. We
collected relevant data (i.e. U, U , , xi, etc), and then
computed all other parameters of interest off-line for the
network shown in Fig. 3. Here, Pa is approximated by
xd(2x0+7x), where .q is the measured throughput of
Node-0, and x is the traffic rate of each neighbour.
