Modelling of a mobile ad-hoc network is a simplest way to represent real life networks for reliability and performance analysis. In this paper, an effort is made to develop a model of ad-hoc network cluster for evaluation of reliability. This model is based on Continuous-Time Markov Chain (CTMC). A mobile ad-hoc network model is especially useful to understand the practical implications and lim...

A wireless mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of solely independent nodes that communicate with each other by forming a single hop/multi-hop network, and maintain connectivity in a decentralized manner. The important characteristic of the ad hoc network is that the nodes move randomly around the area of deployment making the topology highly dynamic. Because of this configuration and ...

MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Network) comprises of several mobile nodes connected by wireless links that creates this network as self-configuring and is also called as Mobile Mesh Networks. The Ad hoc networks are a novel wireless networking prototype for mobile nodes and compared with traditional networks it does not possess any existing or fixed network infrastructure. Rather the mobile nodes rely on...

-This paper includes VANETs that is vehicular Ad-hoc network. It is a sub class of mobile ad hoc network (MANET). It is self-configuring network which do not have any fixed infrastructure. In this the vehicles are act as nodes to create mobile network. It is also called as intelligent transportation system. There are various attacks in VANET’s like DOS attack, prankster attack, fabrication atta...

Ad hoc networks are infrastructure less self organizing networks. These networks are referred to as infrastructure less because there is no physical connection between the entities of ad-hoc networks. All the entities in ad-hoc networks communicate with other entities which lie in its radio frequency range. All the mobile nodes in the network dynamically set up paths among themselves to transmi...

Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any stand-alone infrastructure or centralized administration. Most of the proposed MANET protocols do not address security issues. In MANETs routing algorithm is necessary to find specific routes between source and destination. The primary goal of any ad-hoc network routing prot...

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a group of wireless mobile devices or nodes that communicate with each other without any help of a pre-installed infrastructure and centralized access points. The mobility and the easy use of mobile devices have motivated researches, to develop MANET protocols to exploit a reliable communication facilities provided by these devices. There are number issues suc...

Mobile ad hoc networks(MANET) represent complex distributed systems that comprise wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self organize into arbitrary and temporary adhoc network topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internet work in areas with no preexisting communication infrastructure e.g., disaster recovery environments. An ad-hoc network is not a new one, havi...
