Learn the fundamental algorithms and protocols for wireless andmobile ad hoc networks
Advances in wireless networking and mobile communicationtechnologies, coupled with the proliferation of portable computers,have led to development efforts for wireless and mobile ad hocnetworks. This book focuses on several aspects of wireless ad hocnetworks, particularly algorithmic methods and distributedcomputing with mobility and computation capabilities. It coverseverything readers need to build a foundation for the design offuture mobile ad hoc networks:
* Establishing an efficient communication infrastructure
* Robustness control for network-wide broadcast
* The taxonomy of routing algorithms
* Adaptive backbone multicast routing
* The effect of inference on routing
* Routing protocols in intermittently connected mobile ad hocnetworks and delay tolerant networks
* Transport layer protocols
* ACK-thinning techniques for TCP in MANETs
* Power control protocols
* Power saving in solar powered WLAN mesh networks
* Reputation and trust-based systems
* Vehicular ad hoc networks
* Cluster interconnection in 802.15.4 beacon enabled networks
The book is complemented with a set of exercises that challengereaders to test their understanding of the material. Algorithmsand Protocols for Wireless and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks isappropriate as a self-study guide for electrical engineers,computer engineers, network engineers, and computer sciencespecialists. It also serves as a valuable supplemental textbook incomputer science, electrical engineering, and network engineeringcourses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.
