MANET

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) sometimes called a mobile mesh network , is a
selI conIiguring network oI mobile devices connected by wireless links.
No need Ior existing inIrastructure.
Nodes are mobile topology can be very dynamic.
Nodes must be able to relay traIIic since communicating nodes may be out oI range.

Each device in a MANET is Iree to move independently in any direction, and will there Ior
change its links to other devices Irequently.
Types of MANET
Vehicular ad hoc network
Ior communication among vehicles and between vehicles and road side equipment.
Intelligent vehicular ad hoc network
kind oI artiIicial intelligence that helps vehicles to behave in intelligent manners during vehicle-to-vehicle
collisions, accidents, drunken driving .
Internet based mobile
are ad hoc networks that link mobile nodes and Iixed Internet-gateway nodes.
Ad hoc routing protocol
An ad hoc routing protocol
is a convention or standard that controls how nodes decide which way to route packets between computing
devices in a mobile ad hoc network.
Some ad hoc network Routing protocol
Pro-active(table driven)
Re-active(on demand)
Flow oriented routing
Adaptive(situation aware) routing
Hybrid(proactive and reactive both)
Hierarchical routing
Host speciIic routing
Multicast routing
