Ad-Hoc networks are flexible, adapt to topology changes due to mobility of nodes, and can de deployed where network infrastructure is not available. Research has been done mainly in the area of routing and for isolated Ad-Hoc networks. Some efforts are on the way to connect Ad-Hoc networks to the internet. It is however important to support QoS aware multimedia applications in this environment....

With today’s rapidly improving link-layer technology, and the widespread adoption of wireless networking, the creation of large-scale ad hoc networks could be construed as all but inevitable. However, for routing in a network to be feasible, there is a pressing need for a scalable ad hoc routing protocol. Applications for large-scale ad hoc networking include consumer owned networks, tactical m...

Ad-hoc networks are a key in the evolution of wireless networks. Ad-hoc networks are typically composed of equal nodes, which communicate over wireless links without any central control. Ad-hoc wireless networks inherit the traditional problems of wireless and mobile communications, such as bandwidth optimisation, power control and transmission quality enhancement. In addition, the multi-hop na...

With great potentials in a large number of application fields, ad hoc and sensor networks have been undergoing a revolution that promises a significant impact on society. Unlike traditional fixed infrastructure networks, there are no centralized controls over wireless ad hoc networks, which consist of a collection of devices equipped with wireless communication and networking capability. Any co...

Ad hoc networks are special networks that do not require an infrastructure. Nodes of such networks are usually mobile and wireless. Wireless nodes use a shared medium for communication, so they are able to communicate with many nodes directly provided they are within communication range of those nodes. In this article we present a study of secure ad hoc routing protocols for wireless Networks. ...

Most peer-to-peer file storage sharing systems work on wired networks. Due to the multi-hop wireless communication nature in ad-hoc networks, the development of mobile ad-hoc network file storage sharing system faces many challenges. In this paper, a hypothetical partitionable mobile file system (PMFS) is proposed. This new PMFS is a distributed file storing/sharing system built on partitionabl...

Within the last decade, the use of wireless technologies has become more prevalent. Wireless networks have flexible architectures with data transferred via radio waves and can be divided into two categories; infrastructure-based wireless networks and mobile ad hoc network. The mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system which can be dynamically built without preexisting infrastructure...

Ad hoc networks are wireless networks composed of mobile devices with limited power and transmission range. Advance reservations are a useful method to allocate resources of various kinds in many different environments, and especially be useful for wireless ad hoc networks that require network quality of service, which need advance reservation to support handovers for streaming video. It is key...

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Ad Hoc Networks have the attributes such as wireless connection, continuously changing topology, distributed operation and easy of deployment. Each node operates not only as an end system, but also as...
