Network simulation tools are frequently used to analyze performance
of MANET protocols and applications. They commonly offer only simple
radio propagation models that neglect obstacles of a propagation
environment. In this paper, we integrate a more accurate radio
propagation model into a simulation tool. The model is based on ray
tracing and considers geographic data of the simulation area. We
prove that the usage of a more precise propagation model changes
simulated connection topologies considerably. Consequently, we
obtain different performance evaluation results. To our best
knowledge, no other study of MANETs has been performed so far with
such a detailed radio propagation model. Hence, this paper also
gives new insights on the realistic performance of MANETs in outdoor
environments.
