7.2. Experiment 2. To study the effect of communication range
In the next experiment, Experiment 2 analyses the effect of the communication range variation on ODR in reference to DV-Hop and IDV. A simulation setup of a total of 200 nodes in a bounded region of\(100\times 100\) with a variable communication range of\(\{15,\ 20,\ 25,\ 30\}\) is drawn. Under this experiment (i.e. Experiment 2), the number of anchor nodes kept constant at 10% of the total number of nodes (i.e.\(10\%\ of\ 200\ is\ 20\)).
The simulation results are drawn through Fig. 11 to Fig. 14 show the effect of the variable communication range on the model ODR in comparison to DV-Hop, and IDV.
