in a mobile ad hoc network, there are some features such as the ability to exploit multipath effect for information exchange with high reliability and low error rate. dealing with the aggressors and discovering the path in data transmission are of importance. approaching these goals ends in network promotion and efficiency. in this paper, the designed protocol is able to discover multipath fo...

Ad hoc sensor networks are ad hoc networks that are characterized by decentralized structure and ad hoc deployment. Sensor networks have all the basic features of ad hoc networks but to different degrees – for example, much lower mobility and much more stringent energy requirements. We analyze the current state of research and evaluate open issues in development of routing techniques in wireles...

B ECAUSE the subject of this issue is wireless ad hoc networks, it would be beneficial to provide a definition of the phrase ad hoc as it is used in the context of mobile wireless networks. We have as a starting point the common definitions of this phrase, such as " for a specific purpose or occasion " or " for this case alone, " and many of us have served on at least one ad hoc committee. But ...

A delay-bounded service in wireless ad hoc networks is challenging, as ad hoc networks do not provide any type of guarantees. Several protocols have been proposed to support applications without timing requirements in ad hoc networks, but the increasing demand of QoS applications, in ad hoc wireless environments, requires delay-bound service. The contribution of this paper is to propose a proto...

Traditional ad hoc networks have flat architecture, which suffers from poor scalability. Theoretical analysis and experimental results imply that throughput for each node decreases rapidly toward zero while the number of nodes increases in such architecture. Hierarchical architecture in ad hoc networks present a trade off between cellular networks and pure ad hoc networks, in that data may be f...

Ad hoc networks enable network creation on the fly without support of any predefined infrastructure. The spontaneous erection of networks in anytime and anywhere fashion enables development of various novel applications based on ad hoc networks. However, ad hoc networks present several new challenges. Different research proposals have came forward to resolve these challenges. This chapter provi...

The systems in which information and communication technologies and systems engineering concepts are utilized to develop and improve transportation systems of all kinds are called “The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)”. ITS integrates information, communications, computers and other technologies and uses them in the field of transportation to build an integrated system of people, roads ...

Mobile ad hoc networks will often be deployed in environments where the nodes of the networks are unattended and have little or no physical protection against tampering. The nodes of mobile ad hoc networks are thus susceptible to compromise. The networks are particularly vulnerable to denial of service (DOS) attacks launched through compromised nodes or intruders. In this paper, we present a ne...

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...
