MANET stands for Mobile Ad hoc Network. An ad hoc network is often referred to as an “infrastructure less” network, because the network does not need fixed routers [1]. These nodes are mobile communicating through wireless medium. Each ad hoc node may be capable of acting as a router. It’s characterized by multi-hop wireless connection and frequently changing networks. In this paper we evaluate...

An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. In such an environment, it may be necessary for one mobile host to want the aid of other hosts in forwarding a packet to its destination, due to the limited range of each mobile host's wireless transmissions. In this paper Ad Hoc...

Ad hoc routing protocols have been designed to efficiently reroute traffic when confronted with network congestion, faulty nodes, and dynamically changing topologies. The common design goal of reactive, proactive, and hybrid ad hoc routing protocols is to faithfully route packets from a source node to a destination node while maintaining a satisfactory level of service in a resource-constrained...

This paper proposes a hybrid form of ad-hoc networking where the public network frequency and technology is re-used to establish an ad-hoc network. The proposed technology is TD-CDMA, which will be used for both public and ad-hoc in the same frequency band. In particular, this paper treats the performance difference between a hybrid public & ad-hoc TDDCDMA system employing random slot assignmen...

The main application of wireless mobile ad hoc networks is to offer services for situations wherein groups of people come together and share information. The groups of people that use the ad hoc network form some kind of real social network. Thus, real social networks exhibit clustering, the tendency of two individuals who share a mutual friend to be friends themselves. In this paper impact of ...

This paper presents the first result of an ongoing research on mobile peer-to-peer communication paradigm and on ad hoc networks. This result is threefold: (1) we propose a definition of ad hoc applications that is independent of the notion of ad hoc networks, (2) we advocate for the need of an adequate development framework for building ad hoc applications, (3) we introduce such a framework, w...
