Chapter 4 Research Methodology 28
4.1 Research Methodology It illustrates the overall thesis work to be carried out in as in the form of research activity. It generalizes the understanding about author concept in developing multiple steps or stages for whole work. Creswell [22] enlighten two major form of research i.e. quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative research is carried out by means of inquiry strategies including certain experiments and simulations which produce some form of statistical data for analysis or decisions. Qualitative research is based on the researcher knowledge through participatory and /or constructive perspectives. 4.2 Author approach Thesis is carried out through multiple stages starting form literature review about the state of art technology specific to TCP and MANET and then performing the simulation in OPNET v14.5 tool. So both molds of approaches are necessary to complete the thesis work and have been administered. 4.3 Research Design Author believes that the most of the time is spent in identifying and selecting the problem and conduction literature review. It is also vital to determine that simulation tool also requires some time during configuration and simulation, as results are often indispensable. Author divided the overall research into four stages. 4.3.1 Problem Selection / Identification In problem selection stage author adhere to only MANET and TCP as focus area of research interest. Problem has been selected in consideration to data performance issues in MANET due to wireless nature of the network. 4.3.2 Literature Review for TCP and MANET It is necessary to conduct literature study for understand basic and expertise concept regarding TCP variants, Ad hoc networks, MANET protocols and related work. OPNET simulator study is also important to develop the scenario, run simulation and collect result. 29
