Much progress has been made toward solving the problem of routing packets inside an ad hoc network, but there are presently no complete proposals for connecting ad hoc networks together to form larger networks, or for integrating them with wired internets. This paper describes a technique that allows a single ad hoc network to span across heterogeneous link layers. Using this technique, we can ...

MANET is the collection of various wireless mobile nodes. Security is of high concern in mobile ad hoc network as it has no centralized authority which can oversee the particular node working in the network. The attacks can be preformed from both inside and outside the network. Nodes within surrounding to gain common radio link can be often used to set up ad hoc infrastructure. But the safe com...

The development of ubiquitous computing and mobility opens challenges for implementation of grid computing in ad hoc network environments. In this paper, a new grid computing implementation for ad hoc networks is proposed. The proposed addition of the ad hoc network protocols suite offers an easy and effective way to exploit the computing power of the network nodes. The model is implemented in ...

A mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous wireless network which consists of mobile nodes without any base stations. Many routing schemes and services have been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks. However, since these schemes tend to be evaluated through simulation experiments, it is not known whether they work effectively in real environments or not. Therefore, in order to verify their practic...

A mobile ad hoc network is comprised of mobile hosts that can communicate with each other using wireless links. It is also possible to have access to some host in a fixed infrastructure depending on the kind of the mobile ad hoc network. Mobile ad hoc networks can be realized by different networks such as body area network (BAN), vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), wireless sensor network (WSN). ...

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that can dynamically form a network without using any pre-existing fixed infrastructure. Due to the mobility of the nodes, routing in mobile ad hoc network is not an easy task. A Number of mobile ad hoc routing protocols have been introduced. A set of performance comparison done for the most widely used ad hoc routing prot...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) is a part of wireless networks. No wires and fixed routers are used in this type of network. It is not everlasting network; it is the short term network. Nodes has the capability to self organize themselves and it follows infrastructure less architecture. Network is formed by number of nodes moving in an inconsistent manner. They do not form any topology. Few exam...

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...

Ad-hoc Social Network (ASN) is a social network based on ad-hoc network. The paper describes the work done for implementation of ASN, to determine user experience while using ASN on mobile network, architecture of ASN and different profile matching algorithms. The paper also proposes some of research issues and challenges to be solved for ASN. Index Terms – Ad-hoc Social Network, Routing, Profi...
