The paper focuses on two emerging technologies for constructing a Mobile ad hoc network: IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth. The IEEE 802.11 standard is a good platform to implement a single-hop ad hoc network because of its extreme simplicity. Furthermore, multi-hop networks covering areas of several square kilometers could be built by exploiting the IEEE 802.11 technology. On smaller scales, technolog...

Mobile ad hoc networks are formed by co operative association of wireless nodes communicating with each other without the use of infrastructure. Every node acts as a router in the network and enables the communication between nodes that are separated over their radio range. Typically in ad hoc networks one or more nodes may act as gateway connecting to the external world. The node acting as the...

in this paper, we propose a scheme to improve existing ad-hoc on-demanddistance vector (aodv) routing protocol by discovering and maintaining multiplenon-overlapped routes. our routing protocol is a multipath version of aodvrouting protocol that considers only the disjoint path. due to non-overlappingamong paths, when a link breaks in the network, only one of paths is expired. thepresented rout...

This paper studies delay properties of the wellknown maximum weight scheduling algorithm in wireless ad hoc networks. We consider wireless networks with either onehop or multi-hop flows. Specifically, this paper shows that the maximum weight scheduling algorithm achieves order optimal delay for wireless ad hoc networks with single-hop traffic flows if the number of activated links in one typica...
