This paper talks about an emerging and exciting application of ad-hoc network where vehicles are serving as nodes. This area has certain promised aspects and activities to be offered, which are broadly related with the safety, convenience, entertainment, and various other topics of interest. It is an ad hoc network of vehicles, known as ‘Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET).’ Vehicular Ad-Hoc netwo...

Ad hoc networks have been used in wide range of applications. These networks have become versatile as far implementation is concerned. Such networks have been used from static deployment to mobile network formations. Apart from Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), another ad hoc formation with mobile nodes is the aerial ad hoc networks also termed as Flying Ad...

These days ad-hoc network research has focused on supplying routing services without considering security. In this report, we are providing the information on security threats against ad hoc routing protocols. In light of these threats, we identify three different environments with distinct security requirements. We advise a solution to one; the managed-open scenario where no network substructu...

Many wireless networking problems have to be solved for the efficient design and deployment of these communications devices that operate in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) environment. A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less network of mobile devices which are equipped with a transmitter and receiver. If any node want to communicate with the other node then each node act as a ...

In wireless ad hoc networks, energy efficiency plays important role to improve the lifetime of network. Nodes in wireless ad hoc network are limited battery powered. Therefore, energy efficiency is of vital important in the wireless ad hoc network. Hence there is challenge to maximize the network lifetime. This paper presents a brief overview of wireless ad hoc network, causes of energy loss an...

A mobile ad hoc network is a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected without wires. They use wireless connections to connect to various networks.One new type of ad-hoc network in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network in which vehicles constitute the mobile nodes in the network. The ad-hoc protocols in Mobile Ad-Hoc network is already is introduced earlier. But ...

In this paper, we discuss security issues and their current solutions in the mobile ad hoc network. Owe to the vulnerable nature of the mobile ad hoc network, there are numerous security threats that disturb the development of it. We first analyze the main vulnerabilities in the mobile ad hoc networks, which have made it much easier to suffer from attacks than the traditional wired network. The...
