Abstract
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) is an autonomous collection of mobile
nodes with wireless connection. The nodes are free to move and there exist no infrastructure for these wireless connected nodes. The Stateless Wireless Ad hoc Network model (SWAN) is a proposal trying to solve the Quality of Service concerns in MANET’s. This study presents an introduction to the wireless world, the SWAN network model, a theoretical analysis of the SWAN model, and finally my work and analysis of the result gained with the simulation of the SWAN model in Network Simulator 2 (ns-2).
