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 note covers the following topics: What Is
802.11ac, Drivers for 802.11ac, How Does 802.11ac Go So Fast, How Do
We Make 802.11ac Robust, When Is 11ac Happening.
