Analysis on Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

Abstract: This review paper focus mainly on Wireless Ad Hoc networks where I took review of its types applications and also the various routing algorithms. The concept of dynamic mobility is also introduced in Ad Hoc network because nodes are moving from one place to another place, within this network any node can join the network and can leave the network at any time. A wireless ad hoc network 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. The decentralized nature of wireless ad-hoc networks makes them suitable for a variety of applications where central nodes can't be relied on and may improve the scalability of networks compared to wireless managed networks. Wireless Ad hoc networks are networks in which communication links are based on wireless technologies and the network structure or topology is not pre-defined rather build through dynamic network connectivity.
