Book Description
These networks will provide temporary wireless communications, almost instantaneously, for applications in the field where setting up a permanent network isn't feasible.
Includes detailed coverage of the new IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard for wireless ad hoc networking.
Back Cover copy
No longer a futuristic fantasy, on-the-fly wireless networks are one of today's major developments in communications. Built anywhere, under almost any conditions, these temporary self-organizing systems of cooperating nodes feature a dynamic, decentralized topology and true mobility for users. Mobile Ad Hoc Networking shows you how to design and deploy them.
UNTETHER YOUR NETWORKING SKILLS
Written by an international expert and decade-long contributor to the technical standard, Mobile Ad Hoc Networking gives you a detailed, nuts-and-bolts tutorial on the design and integration of communications nets for locations and situations where putting up a permanent installation is not possible or practical. Packed with technical expertise you won't find in any other source, George Aggelou's guide shows you how to get temporary wireless networks (MANETs) up and running smoothly.
A GROUNDBREAKING GUIDE TO OVER-THE-AIR NETWORKS
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks provides all the help you need to:
-Create instant wireless networks for conventions, conferences, emergency situations, educational or military uses, and more
-Build wireless community networks where little or no infrastructure exists
-Integrate wireless multihop relaying technologies with existing wireless LAN technologies
-Deliver QoS for multimedia and other functions in untethered nets
-Translate the IETF MANET standards into practical terms
-Find essential answers on antennas and other equipment
-Integrated wireless multihop relaying concepts with GSM
-See how wireless routing protocols work in the wild, away from the ideal world of simulators
-Show the way towards third generation systems and beyond
-Be ready for 4G wireless
