In a typical mobile ad hoc network (MANET), all nodes contend for a single channel access using carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). Thus, a fundamental limitation of MANET is that, as the number of nodes increases, the performance of the system will dramatically degrade due to the large number of collisions. This, in turn, results in an overall low system throughput.
