Abstract

Mobile Ad-hoc Wireless Networks (MANETs) present a new paradigm in which to realize a variety of communication technologies and services. The use of stochastic event-based simulation is a common approach to modelling MANET operations as part of the engineering process. To improve observations many simulations are often averaged together to produce estimations of MANET operation; however, to be statistically meaningful start-up transients must be removed, and only ergodic data averaged. These statistical issues of stationarity and ergodicity are often approached in an ad-hoc manner, if at all. This thesis presents a formal method to address these two statistical issues and applies it to the problem of quantifying MANET operation under different physical-layer jamming strategies. This demonstration illustrates the complex nature of MANET operation and the need for rigorous statistical analysis as part of the engineering process.
