Performance Profiling of Radio Models and Anglova Based Scenarios

A realistic troop deployment scenario for tactical MANET was developed within the NATO IST-124. The NAT0 IST-150, which relies on Anglova for benchmarking, has recognized a potential drawback in a subset of this scenario: there is a lack of long (> 4) multi-hop paths. Our contribution confirms this drawback using, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, EMANE emulations based on realistic TDMA radio models combined with the OLSRd implementations. In addition, we propose a scenario, called 1km-chain, which is shown to be quite challenging for low power radios and might be of interest for future profiling of MANET performances. Our 1km-chain scenario simply modifies the Anglova Company 1 scenario based on stopping particular nodes and on using a dual-slope propagation model.
