The Effect of the Number of Mobile Nodes on Varying Speeds of MANETS

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are dynamic networks populated by mobile devices, or mobile nodes(MNs).The Mobile Nodes (MNs) are free to move anywhere and at any time. The population of the nodesmay have some influence on the mobility rate of the MNs. This paper presents simulation results usingMatLab software. The study investigates the influence of mobile nodes’ parameters such as number ofnodes on the nodes speeds and nodes distribution in a given area. The results have indicated that thenumber of mobile nodes have impact on the speeds of the nodes in a location
