"An excellent book for those who are interested in learning the current status of research and development . . . [and] who want to get a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art."—E-StreamsThis book provides up-to-date information on research and development in the rapidly growing area of networks based on the multihop ad hoc networking paradigm. It reviews all classes of networks that have successfully adopted this paradigm, pointing out how they penetrated the mass market and sparked breakthrough research.Covering both physical issues and applications, Mobile Ad Hoc Networking: Cutting Edge Directions offers useful tools for professionals and researchers in diverse areas wishing tolearn about the latest trends in sensor, actuator, and robot networking, mesh networks, delay tolerant and opportunistic networking, and vehicular networks.Chapter coverage includes: Multihop ad hoc networkingEnabling technologies and standards for mobile multihop wireless networkingResource optimization in multiradio multichannel wireless mesh networksQoS in mesh networksRouting and data dissemination in opportunistic networksTask farming in crowd computingMobility models, topology, and simulations in VANETMAC protocols for VANETWireless sensor networks with energy harvesting nodesRobot-assisted wireless sensor networks: recent applications and future challengesAdvances in underwater acoustic networkingSecurity in wireless ad hoc networksMobile Ad Hoc Networking will appeal to researchers, developers, and students interested in computer science, electrical engineering, and telecommunications.
