Effective transmission power control is a critical issue in the design and performance of wireless ad hoc networks. Today, the design of packet radios and protocols for wireless ad hoc networks are primarily based on common-range transmission control. In this paper, we have analyzed some of the widely used routing protocols with varying transmission range, mobility speed and number of nodes. Data transmitted by a node is received by all the nodes within its communication range. We focus on the analysis of varying a range of the transmission in terms of distance, mobility speed and number of nodes in the network. The proposed work has been simulated using NS-2.34. The performance metrics comprises of QoS parameters such as packet delivery ratio, end to end delay, routing overhead and throughput.
