This book provides up-to-date information on research and development in
the rapidly growing area of networks based on the multihop ad hoc
networking paradigm. It reviews all classes of networks that have
successfully adopted this paradigm, pointing out how they penetrated the
mass market and sparked breakthrough research.
Covering both physical issues and applications, Mobile Ad Hoc
Networking: Cutting Edge Directions offers useful tools for
professionals and researchers in diverse areas wishing to
learn about the latest trends in sensor, actuator, and robot networking,
mesh networks, delay tolerant and opportunistic networking, and
vehicular networks.
Chapter coverage includes:
- Multihop ad hoc networking
- Enabling technologies and standards for mobile multihop wireless
networking
- Resource optimization in multiradio multichannel wireless mesh
networks
- QoS in mesh networks
- Routing and data dissemination in opportunistic networks
- Task farming in crowd computing
- Mobility models, topology, and simulations in VANET
- MAC protocols for VANET
- Wireless sensor networks with energy harvesting nodes
- Robot-assisted wireless sensor networks: recent applications and
future challenges
- Advances in underwater acoustic networking
- Security in wireless ad hoc networks
Mobile Ad Hoc Networking will appeal to researchers, developers, and
students interested in computer science, electrical engineering, and
telecommunications.
