Ad-hoc networks
Wireless sensor networks
Ad-hoc networks
• peer-to-peer communication with no backbone infrastructure
• No fixed topology
• Each of the nodes becomes router
• If somebody switches of the phones or mobile, the node vanishes and
the network reconfigure itself.
• Eg. conference room
• Difficult to know the data rate
• Ad-hoc networks provide a flexible network infrastructure for
many emerging applications
• Transmission, access, and routing strategies for these
networks are generally ad hoc
• Cross layer design critical and very challenging
• Energy constraints impose interesting design tradeoffs for
communication and networking
