Adhoc Network:: Wireless Network Ad Hoc Routers Access Points Node

An ad hoc network is a decentralized wireless network without any pre-existing infrastructure. In an ad hoc network, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes dynamically based on network connectivity. Ad hoc networks allow devices to connect directly and independently of any wireless access point. Common types of ad hoc networks include VANETs for vehicle communication, SPANs using smartphones, and military MANETs. Ad hoc networks have characteristics like multihop routing, frequent link breakages due to node mobility, and constrained resources. They are used for applications such as military operations, emergency response, and sensor networks. Major challenges for ad hoc networks include hidden and exposed terminal problems, channel efficiency, access delay and fairness issues.

ADHOC NETWORK:
INTRODUCTION:
A wireless ad hoc network (WANET) is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network
is ad hoc because it does not rely on a pre existing infrastructure, such as routers in wired
networks or access points in managed (infrastructure) wireless networks. Instead,
each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes, so the determination of
which nodes forward data is made dynamically on the basis of network connectivity.
An ad hoc network typically refers to any set of networks where all devices have equal status on
a network and are free to associate with any other ad hoc network device in link range. Ad hoc
network often refers to a mode of operation of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks.
It also refers to a network device's ability to maintain link status information for any number of
devices in a 1-link range.
A BSS without an AP is known as ADHOC NETWORK

TYPES OF ADHOC NETWORK:

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are used for communication between vehicles and
roadside equipment. Intelligent vehicular ad hoc networks are a kind of artificial intelligence

that helps vehicles to behave in intelligent manners during vehicle-to-vehicle collisions,


accidents.

Smart Phone Ad hoc Networks (SPANs) leverage the existing hardware (primarily
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) in commercially available smart phones to create peer-to-peer
networks without relying on cellular carrier networks, wireless access points, or traditional
network infrastructure. SPANs differ from traditional hub and spoke networks, such as Wi-Fi
Direct, in that they support multi-hop relays and there is no notion of a group leader so peers
can join and leave at will without destroying the network.

Internet based mobile ad hoc networks (iMANETs) are ad hoc networks that link mobile
nodes and fixed Internet-gateway nodes

Military / Tactical MANETs are used by military units with emphasis on security, range,
and integration with existing systems.

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is an ad-hoc network but an ad-hoc network is not
necessarily a MANET.

CHARACTERISTICS:

Operating with a central coordinator


Multihop radio relaying
Frequent link breakage due to mobile nodes
Constraint resources
Instant deployment

APPLICATION:

Military application
Collaborative computing
Emergency reuse
Mesh network
Wireless sensor network
Wireless cellular network
Wireless community network

MAJOR ISSUES AND CHALLENES:
