Dynamic
Topologies
Nodes are free to move arbitrarily with different

speeds; thus, the network topology may change
randomly and at unpredictable times.
Energyconstrained
Operation
Some or all of the nodes in an ad hoc network

may rely on batteries or other exhaustible means
for their energy. For these nodes, the most
important system design optimization criteria
may be energy conservation.
Limited
Bandwidth
Wireless links continue to have significantly

lower capacity than infrastructured networks. In
addition, the realized throughput of wireless
communications after accounting for the effects
of multiple access, fading, noise, and
interference conditions, etc., is often much less
than a radios maximum transmission rate.
Security
Threats
Mobile wireless networks are generally more

prone to physical security threats than fixedcable nets. The increased possibility of

Natural disasters with entire communications infrastructure

Restoring communications quickly is essential
Infrastructure could be set up in hours instead of
days/weeks
Personal Area Networking
Short-range, localized network of nodes associated with a

person
Nodes could be attached to someones cell phone, pulse
watch, belt, etc.
Bluetooth is an example
Eliminates need of wires between devices such as printers,
cell phones, PDAs, laptop computers, headsets, etc.

Scalability
Future
Challenges in Ad
hoc and Sensor
Networks
N
Short-range Throughput per node decreases at a rate 1/
, where N is the
number of nodes
This cannot be fixed except by physical layer improvements, such as
directional antennas
Quality of service
Need to provide best-effort service only for Voice, live video and file transfer
Client server model shift
There is no server, but demand for basic services still exists.

Address allocation, name resolution, authentication and service location are
just examples of very basic services which are needed
Security
Lack of any centralized network management or certification authority

Networks are particularly prone to malicious behavior
Interoperation with the Internet
Networks require some Internet connection

Interface between the two are very different
Energy conservation
Lifetime of a single battery and the whole network.
Node cooperation
Why anyone should relay other peoples data
Interoperation
What happens when two autonomous ad hoc networks move into same area
