MOBILE AND AD HOC NETWORKING
Keywords:
Mobile Communications, Wireless Networks, Ad Hoc NetworkingAbstract
A Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) is a group of two or more devices with the wireless communications that communicate with each other without help of any centralized administrator, also the wireless nodes that can instantaneously form a network to exchange information without using any existing fixed network infrastructure. As MANET is mobile, the wireless communication usage is at its top. It might be a standard Wi-Fi connection, or other than this, like a mobile phone or satellite communication. The special characteristics of MANET take this technology higher besides many difficulties.
The fundamental problems of ad hoc network are included in this paper by specifying its related research data including the background, status, characteristics, and applications of MANET. Some of the technical challenges MANET faces are also presented, based on that the paper tells us some of the primary research issues for ad hoc network technology that are expected to rise the development and speed up the commercial applications of the MANET technology
