Towards Analysis and Simulation of Ad-Hoc Networks

In order to determine whether the de- ployment of Ad-Hoc networks in a certain region or field of application is feasible or reasonable, analytic considerations as well as simulations are helpful. At first we introduce the underlying basic model. In the process of the paper we show that a thorough analytic approach is dicult and complex, and demonstrate the limitation of the analysis. Therefore we introduce a simulation tool for such networks and present some first investigation results. It performs in a simple manner the investigation of different Ad-Hoc scenarios by entering some fundamental input parameters.
