3.5 Packet Delivery Rate (PDR)<br />

The PDR is <strong>the</strong> usual metric used to indicate <strong>the</strong> performance of Ad-hoc mobile<br />

<strong>network</strong>s protocol [23]. The PDR is <strong>the</strong> ratio between <strong>the</strong> total number of messages<br />

send out and <strong>the</strong> number of messages that were successfully delivered to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

destinati<strong>on</strong> [14]. The relati<strong>on</strong> between <strong>the</strong> total messages sent to <strong>the</strong> messages delivered<br />

is indicated in Eq. (4).<br />

Total ⋅ messages ⋅ sent<br />

PDR = (4)<br />

Total ⋅ messages⋅<br />

delivered<br />

The highest possible value of PDR is 1; which indicates <strong>the</strong> best performance since all<br />

<strong>the</strong> sent messages are successfully delivered.<br />

3.6 Simulati<strong>on</strong> setting and parameters<br />

Figure 3.8 illustrates <strong>the</strong> simulated map with <strong>the</strong> mobile stati<strong>on</strong>s. Each stati<strong>on</strong> will move<br />

through a predefined path. 50, 60 or 70 mobile stati<strong>on</strong>s are moving in <strong>the</strong> simulated area.<br />

The main focus in this research is <strong>the</strong> communicati<strong>on</strong> between two stati<strong>on</strong>s which<br />

represents <strong>the</strong> disaster stricken point and <strong>the</strong> headquarters (which are represented by <strong>the</strong><br />

two blue nodes in Fig 3.8).<br />
