Ad hoc networks are autonomous systems which comprise a collection of mobile nodes that use wireless transmission for communication. They are self-organized, self-configured, and self-controlled infrastructure-less networks. This type of network can be set up or deployed anywhere and anytime because it poses very simple infrastructure setup and no or minimal central administration. These networks are mainly used by community users such as military, researchers, business, students, and emergency services. This book addresses and explains network concepts, mechanism, design, and performance. ‘‘Ad Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks: Principles, Protocols, and Applications’’ presents the latest techniques, solutions, and support to understand the concepts easily with suitable examples. The book begins with wireless network fundamentals covering Bluetooth, IrDA, HomeRF, WiFi, WMax, Wireless Inteet, and MobileIP.
Contents:
Introduction. Fundamentals of Wireless Networks
MAC Layer Protocols for Ad Hoc Wireless Networks
Routing Protocols for Ad Hoc Wireless Networks
Multicast Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Transport Protocols for Ad Hoc Networks
Quality of Service (QoS) in Ad Hoc Networks
Energy Management Systems in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks
Mobility Models for Multihop Wireless Networks
Cross-Layer Design Issues for Ad Hoc Wireless Networks
Applications and Recent Developments in Ad Hoc Networks
