Mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous collection of mobile or stationary nodes communicating with each other via radio transceivers that has limited radio transmission range. In ad hoc networking, nodes are connected without any fixed infrastructure. Applications for mobile ad hoc network range from personal networks to emergency services. Major challenges to these innovative networks are due ...

Abstract: Mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts which are interconnected by a communication media like radio. The communication network is formed without the aid of any centralized authority or preexisting infrastructure. By its characteristic this type of network is self-starting and self-organizing. It has been observed that mobile ad hoc networks can be exploited for...

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consists of mobile wireless nodes. The communication between these mobile nodes is carried without any centralized control. The ease of deployment and the infrastructure less nature of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) make them highly desirable for present day multi media communications. In this paper we analyze the performance of TCP/IP based application protocol ...

An ad hoc network is a set of mobile units connected by wireless technologies, making an infrastructureless temporary network. without turning to a central administration. The network topology is unpredictable, dynamic, it may change any time. These topology changes make ad hoc networks challenging to implement routing protocols. In this paper, we study mobility effects on the performance of se...

This paper is a survey on the security issues of mobile ad hoc networks. Since mobile ad-hoc networks are getting more and more attentions in recent years, we have great interested in having a survey on the current work in these networks. We found that the most concerning part in using this kind of network is the security issue. Therefore, we focus on the security issues of mobile ad hoc networ...

This paper presents the current state of the art of mobile ad hoc network and some important problems and challenges related to routing, power management, location management as well as multimedia over ad hoc networks. A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a temporary selforganizing network of wireless mobile nodes without the support of any existing infrastructure that may be readily available on...

Mobile Ad-hoc network is spontaneous and infrastructure less network, which consist of wireless mobile nodes. MANET is formed on-the-fly and also provides various operations like packet forwarding, routing, network management, communication, etc between mobile nodes. MANET is one of the types of wireless network, in which any mobile node can join the network and leave the network in dynamic per...

A mobile ad hoc network can be defined as a network that is spontaneously deployed and is independent of any static network. The network consists of mobiles nodes with wireless interfaces and has arbitrary dynamic topology. The network suffers from frequent link formation and disruption due to the mobility of the nodes. A clustering method is used for obtaining a hierarchical organization for t...

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...
