Evaluation Of An Opnet Model For Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Networks, Clifton M. Durham Mar 2009

Evaluation Of An Opnet Model For Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Networks, Clifton M. Durham

Theses and Dissertations

The concept of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) was first used as early as the American Civil War, when the North and the South unsuccessfully attempted to launch balloons with explosive devices. Since the American Civil War, the UAV concept has been used in all subsequent military operations. Over the last few years, there has been an explosion in the use of UAVs in military operations, as well as civilian and commercial applications. UAV Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are fast becoming essential to conducting Network-Centric Warfare (NCW). As of October 2006, coalition UAVs, exclusive of hand-launched systems, had flown almost …


Voice Traffic Over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: A Performance Analysis Of The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol, Lady Noreen P. Santos Mar 2009

Voice Traffic Over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: A Performance Analysis Of The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol, Lady Noreen P. Santos

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis investigates the performance of the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Using VoIP over MANETs takes advantage of the mobility and versatility of a MANET environment and the flexibility and interoperability a digital voice format affords. Research shows that VoIP-like traffic can be routed through an ad hoc network using the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol. This research determines the suitability of OLSR as a routing protocol for MANETs running VoIP applications. Representative VoIP traffic is submitted to a MANET and end-to-end delay …
