This note covers
both the theory and practice of wireless networking. We will then study
widely-used wireless local area network standards and TCP/IP extensions for
mobile and wireless networking. Topics covered will include: Fundamentals of
wireless communications, Wireless network standards, TCP/IP for mobile and
wireless communications, Mobile application platforms, Multihop ad hoc networks,
Sensor networks.

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.
