I. Fundamentals What is A Wireless Ad-Hoc Network(AD-NED? An AD-NET is a self-managing system of cooperating mobile and or stationary nodes connected by unreliable wireless links Each node operates not only as an end system, but also as a router to process and forward application data Usually, the nodes are inexpensive and have limited computation and communication capability. They can be used to cover a large terrain and has great potential in civic and military applications A Wireless ad-Hoc Network Due to severe energy, environmental, timing constraints and dynamic topological changes desion a wireless ad-neT is a big challenge• An AD-NET is a self-managing system of cooperating mobile and/or stationary nodes connected by unreliable wireless links. • Each node operates not only as an end￾system, but also as a router to process and forward application data. • Usually, the nodes are inexpensive and have limited computation and communication capability.
