In a very simple form a Mobile Agent is an independent piece of code that has mobility and autonomy behavior. One of the main advantages of using Mobile Agent in a network is it reduces network traffic load. In an, ad hoc network Mobile Agent can be used to protect the network by using agent based IDS or IPS. Besides, to deploy dynamic software in the network or to retrieve information from net...

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...

A mobile ad-hoc network is an autonomous collection of mobile nodes that communicate over bandwidth constrained wireless links. Due to nodal mobility, the network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. The routing protocols meant for wired network cannot be used for mobile ad-hoc network because of mobility of network. A number of routing protocols like Destination-Sequenced D...
