M²ANET: A Mobile Medium Ad Hoc Network

We introduce a new type of a model for an ad hoc network: M
²
ANET. The new model differentiates between terminal nodes and transmission nodes in a network. The sole objective of the network is to facilitate transmission between the terminal nodes using the transmission nodes. Compared with a fully connected networks, the new model shows a better performance. We evaluate the utilizations of standard routing algorithms AODV and DSR in M
²
ANETs under different normalized node density conditions.
