An excellent book for those who are interested in learning thecurrent status of research and development . . . [and] who want toget a comprehensive overview of the currentstate-of-the-art."

—E-Streams

This book provides up-to-date information on research anddevelopment in the rapidly growing area of networks based on themultihop ad hoc networking paradigm. It reviews all classes ofnetworks that have successfully adopted this paradigm, pointing outhow they penetrated the mass market and sparked breakthroughresearch.

Covering both physical issues and applications, Mobile Ad HocNetworking: Cutting Edge Directions offers useful tools forprofessionals and researchers in diverse areas wishing to

learn about the latest trends in sensor, actuator, and robotnetworking, mesh networks, delay tolerant and opportunisticnetworking, and vehicular networks.

Chapter coverage includes:

Multihop ad hoc networking

Enabling technologies and standards for mobile multihopwireless networking

Resource optimization in multiradio multichannel wireless meshnetworks

QoS in mesh networks

Routing and data dissemination in opportunistic networks

Task farming in crowd computing

Mobility models, topology, and simulations in VANET

MAC protocols for VANET

Wireless sensor networks with energy harvesting nodes

Robot-assisted wireless sensor networks: recent applicationsand future challenges

Advances in underwater acoustic networking

Security in wireless ad hoc networks

Mobile Ad Hoc Networking will appeal to researchers,developers, and students interested in computer science, electricalengineering, and telecommunications.
