Principles of Ad-hoc Networking [PDF ebook] 

Principles of Ad Hoc Networking presents a systematic
introduction to the fundamentals of ad hoc networks.

An ad-hoc network is a small network, especially one with
wireless or temporary plug-in connections. Typically, some of the
network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a
communications session or, in the case of mobile or portable
devices, while in some close proximity to the rest of the network.
These networks can range from small and static systems with
constrained power resources to larger-scale dynamic and mobile
environments. Wireless ad hoc networks facilitate numerous and
diverse applications for establishing survivable dynamic systems in
emergency and rescue operations, disaster relief and intelligent
home settings.

Principles of Ad Hoc Networking:

* Introduces the essential characteristics of ad hoc networks
such as: physical layer, medium access control, Bluetooth discovery
and network formation, wireless network programming and
protocols.

* Explains the crucial components involved in ad-hoc networks in
detail with numerous exercises to aid understanding.

* Offers key results and merges practical methodologies with
mathematical considerations.

Principles of Ad Hoc Networking will prove essential
reading for graduate students in Computer Science, Electrical
Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Physics as well as researchers
in the field of ad hoc networking, professionals in wireless
telecoms, and networking system developers.
