A wireless ad-hoc network
is a wireless network deployed without any infrastructure. This
includes wireless mesh networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and vehicular
ad-hoc networks. This book focuses on the most fundamental aspects of
wireless ad-hoc networks. Topics include the design of the link layer
for better performance, the study on routing protocols for higher
efficiency, and practical issues in its application.
This book is a practical guide to designing and
building wireless networks in local communities, enhancing lives through
improved communication, access to information for educational, social and
economic growth.
