Evaluation of Physical Carrier Sense Based Backbone Maintenance in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Figure 7

Detailed sample path simulation results: number of transmitted bytes by a node in Phase I (bottom curve), Phase II (top curve), and Phase III (middle curve) for backbone creation and maintenance per frame for 𝑁=400.

(a) Speed = 0 m/s

(b) Speed = 5 m/s

(c) Speed = 30 m/s
