Simulation Environment:
Evaluation Criteria
n Packet Delivery Ratio: The ratio of the number of packets
actually delivered to the destinations versus the number of
data packets supposed to be received
n Number of data packets transmitted per data packet
delivered: includes retransmissions and dropped packets
n Number of control packets transmitted per data packet
delivered: routing protocol overhead, normalized by user
traffic (protocols are on-demand)
n Number of control packets and data packets transmitted
per data packet delivered: This measure tries to capture a
protocol’s channel access efficiency, as the cost of channel
access is high in contention-based link layers
