Description
Principles of Ad Hoc Networking presents a systematicintroduction to the fundamentals of ad hoc networks.
An ad-hoc network is a small network, especially one withwireless or temporary plug-in connections. Typically, some of thenetwork devices are part of the network only for the duration of acommunications session or, in the case of mobile or portabledevices, while in some close proximity to the rest of the network.These networks can range from small and static systems withconstrained power resources to larger-scale dynamic and mobileenvironments. Wireless ad hoc networks facilitate numerous anddiverse applications for establishing survivable dynamic systems inemergency and rescue operations, disaster relief and intelligenthome settings.
Principles of Ad Hoc Networking:
* Introduces the essential characteristics of ad hoc networkssuch as: physical layer, medium access control, Bluetooth discoveryand network formation, wireless network programming andprotocols.
* Explains the crucial components involved in ad-hoc networks indetail with numerous exercises to aid understanding.
* Offers key results and merges practical methodologies withmathematical considerations.
Principles of Ad Hoc Networking will prove essentialreading for graduate students in Computer Science, ElectricalEngineering, Applied Mathematics and Physics as well as researchersin the field of ad hoc networking, professionals in wirelesstelecoms, and networking system developers.
