Ad Hoc Networking

Ad Hoc Networking is a collection of algorithms, protocols, and innovative ideas from the leading practitioners and researchers that will propel the technology toward mainstream deployment. It discusses numerous potential applications, reviews relevant networking concepts, and examines the various approaches that define emerging ad hoc networking technologies. Specific topics covered include:

• The Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) protocol
• Cluster-based networks for transmission management and routing efficiency
• Ad hoc networking for the military
• The Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) algorithm, in which paths are carried along with the data packets
• The Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol, which reduces memory and processing requirements
• The Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP)--a hybrid proactive/reactive protocol
• The Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA)--a link-reversal protocol
• The Associative Bit Routing (ABR) algorithm, which addresses battery life concerns
• Source tree adaptive routing (STAR) protocol--a bandwidth-efficient partial link-state algorithm

Throughout this book, the important issues of scalability, cost, bandwidth efficiency, power requirements, compatibility, quality of service, and security are considered, and possible solutions to these challenges are presented.
