Reader Reviews
The concept of as Ad-Hoc, especially a Mobile Ad hoc NETwork - MANET is of a set of devices with communications needs that are not tied to fixed base stations. Rather like the cellular phone network if the base stations were also mobile. This obviously requires that all communications be wireless. The network gets more complex as the devices move, perhaps at different speeds and directions, and as the communications links may not be symetrical, or equivalent speed. An obvious application for a MANET is a modern rapidly moving battlefield such as that in the Iraq wars. Other applications include disaster recovery where a MANET might be set up in hours rather than days -- note the time to re-establish communications in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. This book is the result of research that covers vertually every aspect of MANETs included Routing, Scability, Quality of Service, Security, Energy Conservation, Topology, Standards, and Implementation.
