The IEEE 802.11b standard is used as the communications technology and the dynamic source routing algorithm provides the mechanism for generating the communications routes from data sources to data sinks. The study looks into the optimal position for a gateway node in a deployed network and also investigates methods of distributing the network load evenly across the network.
