Abstract

Recent years have witnessed a surge in the interest in ad hoc networks. Spurred by ever-decreasing form-factors and cost of wireless transceivers and processors, a multitude of new applications are emerging. These in­clude short-range ad hoc wireless networks for ubiquitous computing, larger range indoor wireless LANs that operate in ad hoc mode, metropolitan area networks and sensor networks. Standards such as Bluetooth, HomeRF, and IEEE 802.11 are giving impetus to the growth in the number of ad hoc com­munication enabled devices. Propelled by these trends, ad hoc networks with a large number (e.g. 1000s) of nodes are moving rapidly from the realm of imagination to that of reality.
