Summary
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent a featured domain of wireless networks, which are well-differentiated from cellular network infrastructure and have attracted decades of research effort. Traditional MANET research focuses on routing issues among nodes with low power and weak ability. Intelligent UAVs and smart vehicles have distinct physical characteristics and levels of ability compared to MANET nodes. The increased spatial dimension, high speed of movement, and heterogeneous node genre pose a huge challenge to the existing MANET architectures and protocols. MANETs are entangled with modern cellular networks, such as 5G, which has many innovative features and functions, making the system even more complicated. Thanks to the surging computing and caching capabilities of in-unit chips and the evolution of radio communication technologies, future MANETs will have the opportunity to adopt computational dense artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to address this multi-folded complexity.
