Ad hoc networks have been used in wide range of applications. These networks have become versatile as far implementation is concerned. Such networks have been used from static deployment to mobile network formations. Apart from Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), another ad hoc formation with mobile nodes is the aerial ad hoc networks also termed as Flying Ad...

A mobile ad hoc network is a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected without wires. They use wireless connections to connect to various networks.One new type of ad-hoc network in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network in which vehicles constitute the mobile nodes in the network. The ad-hoc protocols in Mobile Ad-Hoc network is already is introduced earlier. But ...

This paper talks about an emerging and exciting application of ad-hoc network where vehicles are serving as nodes. This area has certain promised aspects and activities to be offered, which are broadly related with the safety, convenience, entertainment, and various other topics of interest. It is an ad hoc network of vehicles, known as ‘Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET).’ Vehicular Ad-Hoc netwo...

In wireless ad hoc networks, energy efficiency plays important role to improve the lifetime of network. Nodes in wireless ad hoc network are limited battery powered. Therefore, energy efficiency is of vital important in the wireless ad hoc network. Hence there is challenge to maximize the network lifetime. This paper presents a brief overview of wireless ad hoc network, causes of energy loss an...

Due to the complexity and high randomness, most current researches on ad hoc networks are based on simulation results and empirical analysis, lacking theoretical understanding of the ad hoc networks and their behavior. This paper presents a general ad hoc network model and derives the statistic results of link and path availability properties in ad hoc network. Simulation results are given to v...

A wireless ad hoc network typically refers to any set of wireless networks where all devices have equal status on a network and are free to associate with any other wireless ad hoc network devices in their range. As the nature of these networks, they commonly do not have external power supplies, and each node has a limited internal power source. In this paper, we put forward a new routing proto...

B ECAUSE the subject of this issue is wireless ad hoc networks, it would be beneficial to provide a definition of the phrase ad hoc as it is used in the context of mobile wireless networks. We have as a starting point the common definitions of this phrase, such as " for a specific purpose or occasion " or " for this case alone, " and many of us have served on at least one ad hoc committee. But ...

In this paper, we discuss security issues and their current solutions in the mobile ad hoc network. Owe to the vulnerable nature of the mobile ad hoc network, there are numerous security threats that disturb the development of it. We first analyze the main vulnerabilities in the mobile ad hoc networks, which have made it much easier to suffer from attacks than the traditional wired network. The...

today, one of the new technologies in the modern era is vehicular ad-hoc network which has takenenormous attention in the recent years. because of rapid topology changing and frequent disconnectionmakes it difficult to design an efficient routing protocol for routing data between vehicles, called v2v orvehicle to vehicle communication and vehicle to roadside infrastructure, called v2i. designin...

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) has been drawing interest among the researchers for the past couple of years. Though ad hoc network or mobile ad hoc network is very common in military environment, the real world practice of ad hoc network is still very low. On the other hand, cloud computing is supposed to be the next big thing because of its scalability, PaaS, IaaS, SaaS and other important c...
