Abstract
In the next generation of wireless communication systems, there will be a need for the rapid deployment of independent mobile users. Significant examples include establishing survivable, efficient, dynamic communication for emergency/rescue operations, disaster relief efforts, and military networks. Such network scenarios cannot rely on centralized and organized connectivity, and can be conceived as applications of Wireless Ad Hoc Networks. A Wireless Ad Hoc Network (WANET) is an autonomous collection of mobile users that communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Since the nodes are mobile, the network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. The network is decentralized, where all network activity including discovering the topology and delivering messages must be executed by the nodes themselves. This paper provides a comprehensive survey, review and analysis of the research that has gone into Wireless Ad Hoc Networks over the period 1993–2002, covering areas like QoS, Routing, Security and Adaptive Wireless Ad Hoc networks.
