Abstract: Wireless ad hoc networks (also referred to as packet radio
networks and multi-hop radio networks) consist of mobile nodes
communicating over a shared wireless channel. Contrary to cellular
networks, where the nodes are restricted to communicate with a set of
carefully placed base stations, in wireless ad hoc networks there are no
base stations; any two nodes are allowed to communicate directly if they
are close enough, and nodes must use multi-hop routing to deliver their
packets to distant destinations.
The lack of wired infrastructure, the nature of the
wireless channel, and the mobility of the nodes create many challenging
problems in the link, network, and higher layers of the network protocol
stack.
On the other hand, the lack of wired infrastructure and their topology
make these networks ideal for many applications, from personal area
networks, to search and rescue operations, to massive networks of
millions of sensors. It is therefore expected that, once all the
technological issues are solved, wireless ad hoc networks will become an
integral part of our society's communication network infrastructure.
