Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are becoming more essential to wireless communications due to growing popularity of mobile devices. Ad-hoc networks are multi-hop network that use wireless communication for transmission without fixed infrastructure. In this paper we focused on the simulation of MANET for analysis and comparison of two cases: MANET with and without admen. We Simulate these two cases by NS-2 software. Performance parameters such as delay, jitter and throughput for these cases are analyzed using NSWireless software. Keywords: MANET, Admen, Simulation. I. INTRODUCTION The main advantages of MANET are high-performance network, no need for expensive infrastructure, the use of unlicensed frequency spectrum and Rapid distribution of information about the transmitter [1], [2]. Today wireless communication has become integral part of our daily lives. Everyone uses transportable wireless devices like mobile phone, notebook or tablet. To organize the use of these devices in a more useful network, some type of fixed communications is needed such as access points or base stations which has a limited premises and range. MANET technologies provide a solution to such problems. MANETs are self-configured, independent infrastructureless networks having movable nodes that are linked by multi- hop wireless links [3], [4]. Many challenges facing the development and deployment of MANET because of random topology. Scalability, limitation of bandwidth, capacity, transmission power conservation are not all of problems [5], [6], [7]. Large number of challenges related to standards, devices, protocols and applications are to be dealt with [8].
