Abstract:
1. A method for modeling a mobile ad hoc wireless network for a predetermined geographical area, comprising: (a) dividing said geographic area into a network grid including a plurality of network grid elements; (b) locating one or more obstacles, if any, to communication between transmission nodes located in at least two different grid elements from said plurality of network grid elements; (c) locating one or more bottlenecks, within said plurality of network grid elements; (d) locating one or more network grid elements from said plurality of network grid elements where wireless transmission is unconstricted; (e) determining a transmission flow rate across said one or more bottlenecks; (f) comparing said transmission flow rate across said one or more bottlenecks to determine if any of said one or more bottlenecks are not real bottlenecks; and (g) removing said one or more bottlenecks that are not real bottlenecks from said model; wherein at least said determining is performed utilizing a processor operatively coupled to a wireless connection device, and further operatively coupled to a memory.
