A WHITE PAPER ON THE MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORKS FOR THE EXISTING PROTOCOLS AND APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a
collection of two or more devices or nodes or
terminals with wireless communications and
networking capability that communicate with
each other without the aid of any centralized
administrator also the wireless nodes that can
dynamically form a network to exchange
information without using any existing fixed
network infrastructure. And it’s an autonomous
system in which mobile hosts connected by
wireless links are free to be dynamically and
some time act as routers at the same time, and
in this paper gives the distinct characteristics of
traditional wired networks, including network
configuration may change at any time , there is
no direction or limit the movement and so on,
and thus needed a new optional path
Agreement (Routing Protocol) to identify nodes
for these actions communicate with each other
path, An ideal choice way the agreement should
not only be able to find the right path, and the
Ad Hoc Network must be able to adapt to
changing network of this type at any time. and
this paper gives all the information of Mobile
Ad Hoc Network which include the History of
ad hoc, wireless ad hoc, wireless mobile
approaches and types of mobile ad Hoc
networks, and then present the types of the
routing Ad Hoc Networks protocols have been
proposed. In this paper, the more
representative of routing protocols, analysis of
individual characteristics and advantages and
disadvantages to collate and compare, and
present the all applications or the Possible
Service of Ad Hoc Networks.
