Study Notes
Ad Hoc Networks
- A type of wireless network that does not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure is an ad hoc network.
Challenges in Building a MANET
- The primary challenge in building a MANET is the dynamic and self-organizing nature of the network.
Device Functionality in a MANET
- Each device in a MANET needs to perform routing, forwarding, and transport functions, as well as being a router and a host simultaneously.
Decentralized Nature of Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
- Wireless ad hoc networks are considered decentralized because they do not rely on a central authority or infrastructure to operate.
Dynamic Network Creation in a MANET
- Devices in a MANET are enabled to create and join networks 'on the fly' due to their ability to self-organize and adapt to changing network conditions.
