In this paper, we compare the performance of two possible switching techniques for ad hoc wireless networks: namely, reservation-based (RB) and non-reservation-based (NRB) switching. Fundamental network performance metrics, such as throughput and delay, are studied to understand the tradeoffs between the two switching schemes. In particular, we identify the circumstances where each of these two schemes is better than the other.
