This book is about "non-infrastructured" wireless networks, which are referred to as "AD HOC" wireless networks. Wireless networks comprise both infrastructured and non-infrastructured systems. Infrastructured wireless networks refer to base station oriented WLANS. This book covers routing which is the most significant difference between Ad Hoc networks and base station networks. Features • Covers media access, routing, service discovery, multicasting, power conservation, transport protocol,etc., • Includes a complete narration of prototype implementation with communication performance results from practical field trials • Introduces key applications for home, business, auto, and defense
