Abstract:

Adhoc networks are rapidly deployable, self configuring and known for existing infrastructure. It has Wireless links and the nodes are mobile, topology can be very dynamic. Nodes must be able to relay traffic since communicating nodes might be out of range. A MANET can be a standalone network or it can be connected to external networks(Internet).

 Ad hoc networks are infrastructure Networks with fixed, wired backbone . Mobile communicates directly with access points . Suitable for locations where access points can be placed For eg) Cellular networks

Keywords  Adhoc networks, Wireless links, MANET, Cellular networks
