Ad Hoc Wireless Networking

Part of the book series: Network Theory and Applications ((NETA,volume 14))

Abstract

Ad Hoc Wireless Networks Due to its potential applications in various situations such as battlefield, emergency relief, and so on, wireless networking has received significant attention over the last few years. There are no wired infrastructures or cellular networks in ad hoc wireless network. Each mobile node has a transmission range. Node v can receive the signal from node u if node v is within the transmission range of the sender u. Otherwise, two nodes communicate through multi-hop wireless links by using intermediate nodes to relay the message. Consequently, each node in the wireless network also acts as a router, forwarding data packets for other nodes. In this survey, we consider that each wireless node has an omnidirectional antenna. This is attractive because a single transmission of a node can be received by many nodes within its vicinity which, we assume, is a disk centered at the node. In addition, we assume that each node has a low-power Global Position System (GPS) receiver, which provides the position information of the node itself. If GPS is not available, the distance between neighboring nodes can be estimated on the basis of incoming signal strengths. Relative co-ordinates of neighboring nodes can be obtained by exchanging such information between neighbors [1].
