Book excerpt: Multi-hop wireless networks have been extensively studied and are widely deployed for various networks. These networks include mobile Ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, mesh networks, space communication networks and delay-tolerance networks. In multi-hop wireless networks the end-to-end performance, in terms of throughput and delay, degrades exponentially with hop counts. Several factors contribute to this degradation including network topology, node distance, media access control protocol, application and the source and aggregate traffic characteristics. In this thesis we studied the impact of various factors that determine the performance of an end-to-end connection for various applications in multi-hop wireless networks. We have developed various simulation models to study the dynamics of the above mentioned factors for different media access control including IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.11e, IEEE 802.11s and TDMA under different traffic source conditions, such as constant bit rate, file transfer protocol and general traffic. Our study shows that multi-hop networks have significant limitations for delay-sensitive traffic and significant limitation in quality of service provisioning.
