"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-Streams

This 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 to

learn 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 networking

* Enabling technologies and standards for mobile multihop
wireless networking

* Resource optimization in multiradio multichannel wireless mesh
networks

* QoS in mesh networks

* Routing and data dissemination in opportunistic networks

* Task farming in crowd computing

* Mobility models, topology, and simulations in VANET

* MAC protocols for VANET

* Wireless sensor networks with energy harvesting nodes

* Robot-assisted wireless sensor networks: recent applications
and future challenges

* Advances in underwater acoustic networking

* Security in wireless ad hoc networks

Mobile Ad Hoc Networking will appeal to researchers,
developers, and students interested in computer science, electrical
engineering, and telecommunications.
