The major focus of all the researches related to MANET is on throughput capacity of the complete network. However, the improvement in the MANETs cannot be achieved just by analyzing and improving the total network throughput. Moreover, the major problem, that is synchronization for time division networks using time slotted channels has also been improved, thus forcing the hike in use of MANETS. However, the throughput capacity of each node was rarely been considered for mobile ad-hoc networks, which also can be useful for optimizing the throughput capacity for each nodes in the MANET. In this work, the authors have demonstrated the derivation of individual node throughput capacity and through a theoretical model that demonstrated the possible optimization techniques for each node.
