INTRODUCTION:
-
 What is an Ad Hoc network?
 An infrastructure less network that can be formed
without any prior planning
 Why?
 Infrastructure
not available / has been destroyed. E.g.
battle-time scenario, remote search and rescue,
sensor networks etc.
 How is data routed?
• Using one of the many experimental protocols which
can either pro-actively seek out routes, or can discover
routes as and when they are required.
Many WLANs of today need an
infrastructure network.

 communication typically takes place only between the

wireless nodes and the access point but not directly
between the wire less nodes.

 The access point does not just control medium

access, but also acts as a bridge to other
wireless or wired network.

EXAMPLE

Typical cellular phone networks are infrastructure-based

networks for a wide area .
Then the ad-hoc wireless network came into
concept

Where we don’t need any infrastructure to work?

What is an ad-hoc network?

Ad Hoc network is a self-organizing multi-hop wireless

network, which relies neither on fixed infrastructure nor on
predetermined connectivity.

Each node can communicate directly with other nodes ,

so no access point controlling medium access is
necessary .
CHARACTERISTICS OF AD-HOC NETWORK

 Anad hoc wireless network is a collection of two or more

devices equipped with wireless communications and
networking capability.

 Suchdevices can communicate with another node that is

immediately within their radio range(peer-to-peer
communication) and sends the packet from the source
(sender) to the destination(receiver).
HETEROGENEOUS AD-HOC NETWORK

Three different can communicate with each other

MANET-Mobile Ad-hoc Network
Definition:- An ad-hoc mobile network is a collection of
mobile nodes that are dynamically and arbitrarily located
in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes
are capable of changing on a continual basis.

MANETs are self-forming, self-maintained, and self-

healing , allowing for extreme network flexibility

 A MANET consists of mobile platforms (e.g., a router with

multiple hosts and wireless communications devices)
known as "nodes "--which are free to move about arbitrarily.
How are MANETs different?

Three nodes with their radio ranges but cannot

communicate with each other
Three nodes can communicate with each other that is
immediately with in their radio ranges
How are MANETs different?

Nodes discover and maintain routes automatically

 ADVANTAGES
 Mobility

 Maybe no network infrastructure available

 Remote areas

 Maynot want use the available infrastructure

 Time or cost to access & resistor on the service

 Dynamically extend coverage of communication

 Allow users to be further away from infrastructure
 DISADVANTAGES
 Infrastructure less network does not have a clear line of
defense.
 As number of computer increases , the data transfer rate
to each computer will decreases accordingly.
 Wireless attacks may come from all direction

 Increases the chance of packet loss

 Every node must be prepared to encounter with an

adversary
 APPLICATION

Disaster relief
Instant infrastructure
Remote area
Military troops
Multiplayer game
Road safety
CONCLUSION:-
Mobile ad-hoc networking is likely to become an
important future communication technology; many
interesting application areas have been suggested,
including applications in vehicular and sensor networks.
However, the development of such applications is
currently held up by the unavailability of MANET-
capable mobile devices. Current wireless devices, such as
PDAs with 802.11b networking, do not support the
necessary multi-hop routing protocols as standard.
