Abstract

[In the past decade, the emergence of cheap, small, powerful and smart wireless devices such as mobile phones, laptops, personal digital assistant (PDAs), etc have resulted in an exponential growth of mobile wireless networks. Currently, most of the connections among wireless devices are achieved over fixed infrastructure-based wireless networks. To mention only a few examples, cellular networks have been widely deployed to set up connections among mobile phones, while popularity of wireless access points (APs) allows travelers to surf the Internet from cafes, railway stations, airports, and other public locations. Although infrastructure-based wireless networks offer an effective way for mobile devices to get network services, setting up the infrastructure takes time and incurs potentially high costs. Moreover, there are scenarios where user-required infrastructure is not available, cannot be deployed in time, or cannot be deployed at all. Examples range from battlefield communications, disaster relief to wildlife tracking and habitat monitoring sensor networks. Providing the required network services in such scenarios leads to a mobile ad hoc network.]
