In this paper the application spectrum of wireless ad hoc network is a typical battle field monitoring system for the public safety purpose and military sector where the sensor network simulator architecture is used to provide support for sensing capabilities in network nodes for different mobility conditions. Rayleigh and Rician fading (K=3) model is used for the effect of channel fading in the network scenario. The channel fading incurs extra network overhead in the PHY, MAC and Network layer. A comprehensive study on the performance of ad hoc network routing protocols under realistic network scenarios with the effect of channel fading models is presented.
