Ad hoc networks are a new wireless networking paradigm for mobile hosts. Unlike traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks do not rely on any fixed infrastructure. In this network, this topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internetwork in areas with no pre-existing communication infrastructure, e.g., disaster recovery environments. Each node acting as both a host and...

{ With the fast growing uses of GPS-equipments, mobile users can more easily determine where they are located. These physical location information may play an important role in a wireless ad hoc network formed by a collection of wireless mobile hosts, in the absence of any xed infrastructure. Performance overhead considerations are more important for ad hoc network environments because of the t...

Sending multiple copies of packet to different nodes is called Multicasting. Wired and infrastructure-based wireless networks are supported by many multicast routing protocols. But, applying this concept in Mobile Ad hoc wireless networks (MANETs) is a big challenge. Problems in ad hoc networks are the scarcity of bandwidth, short lifetime of the nodes due to power constraints and dynamic topol...

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a selfconfiguring infrastructure less network of mobile devices connected by wireless.A protocol manages group membership and controls the path that multicast data takes over the network. Examples of multicast routing protocols include Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM). There are lots of multicast routing protocols, some works with wired networks while the ...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) (Haas et al., 1999) are an important subject for research as mobile devices (laptops, PDAs, cell phones), wireless networks and applications became widespread during the last decade. For instance, specialized ad hoc networks such as the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) (Pottie & Kaiser, 2000; Akyildiz et al., 2002) and the Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) (Kosch...

Mobile ad hoc networks are becoming very popular in wireless communications due to the latest advances in technology. This has allowed millions of people to communicate with each other over wireless networks using mobile devices. Moreover, the latest models of many vehicles are equipped with communication devices which allow them to form a new type of ad hoc wireless networks, called Vehicular ...

With recent performance advancements in computer and wireless communications technologies, advanced mobile wireless computing is expected to see increasingly widespread use and application, much of which will involve the use of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. The vision of mobile ad hoc networking is to support robust and efficient operation in mobile wireless networks by incorporating routin...

Wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETS) are self configuring, dynamic networks in which nodes are free to move. In mobile ad hoc networks, the major performance constraint comes from path loss and channel fading. This project implements a channel adaptive routing protocol which extends the Ad hoc On-Demand multipath Distance vector (AOMDV) Routing protocol to accommodate channel fading. This c...

Mobile Ad hoc wireless networks are characterized by infrastructure less environment, multi-hop wireless connectivity and frequently changing topology. Wireless links are highly error prone and can go down frequently due to mobility of nodes. So stable routing is a very critical task due to highly dynamic environment in ad-hoc wireless networks. The identification of stable and efficient routin...
