Abstract
Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a new standard of wireless wearable devices enabling instantaneous person-to-person, person-to-machine, or machine-to-person communications immediately and easily. MANET is a compilation of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any stand-alone infrastructure or centralized administration or self organization network. MANET has the aspects such as wireless connection, constantly changing topology, scattered operation, and ease of deployment. These capabilities make MANETs very attractive to applications ranging from simple wireless network coverage in offices and warehouses to emergency rescue/response and military operations, law enforcement, and smart environments (including intelligent transport systems). In this chapter, the authors discuss MANET environment and network architecture, which should be kept in mind at design phase of MANET. The authors also discuss: MANET parameters, environment deviations, routing protocol performance considerations, and MANET security challenges.
