3.6 SUMMARY
In this chapter we have shown that our proposed schemes can overcome the inherent channel inefficiency of RTS/CTS handshaking in mobile ad hoc networks, especially when node density is high and interruption is frequent. At the same time, our enhancements do not suffer from any compatibility problems and generate no additional overhead, which is vital for smooth deployment. Results obtained from extensive simulations show that our combined method considerably improves the throughput compared to standard IEEE 802.11 and the RTS validation scheme. Thus, we can confirm that such smart approach can improve channel utilization in wireless communication.
