Simulation Analysis of New 802.11KT MAC Protocol And IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol for Grid Topology in MANET Using NS-2

Abstract

This paper compare the performance analysis of newly designed 802.11KT MAC protocol for a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) communication system which aims to provide low cost, small end to end delay and more throughputs with the existing IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. Simulation is the main method for evaluating the performance of protocol. It is subjected to comparison of performance of existing IEEE802.11 Mac protocol and new 802.11KT Mac protocol for random topology in MANET. The Adhoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) is used as routing protocol with NS-2 simulator. Simulation results indicated that newly designed 802.11KT MAC protocol has better performance than existing IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol.
