Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are self-configuring wireless networks that allow devices to transmit data to each other over wireless connections without any infrastructure. In a MANET, devices are free to move independently and the network topology changes rapidly and unpredictably. MANETs have dynamic topologies, possibly unidirectional links, constrained resources like battery power, and limited wireless transmitter ranges. They are used in situations like military operations, disaster relief efforts, and conferences where wired networks cannot easily be set up.

INFRASTRUCTURE WIRELESS NETWORK THAT TRANSMITS FROM COMPUTER TO COMPUTER.
•DEVICESARE FREE TO MOVE
INDEPENDENTLY.
CHARACTERISTICS :-
1. DYNAMIC TOPOLOGY- Topology changes
rapidly and unpredictably 2. POSSIBLY UNITE- directional links 3. CONSTRAINED RESOURCES- battery power 4. WIRELESS TRANSMITTER RANGE- Routers move randomly free TYPES OF MANET:- • VEHICULAR ADHOC NETWORK(VANETs) • INTELLIGENT VEHICULAR ADHOC NETWORK(INVANETs) • INTERNET BASED MOBILE ADHOC NETWORK(IMANETs) ROUTING IN MANET:- PRO -ACTIVE (TABLE DRIVEN) ROUTING REACTIVE (ON DEMAND) ROUTING HYBRID ROUTING (BOTH PROACTIVE AND REACTIVE) BACKPRESSURE ROUTING Routing Protocols for MANETs APPLICATION & USES OF MANET:-
MILITARY OR POLICE EXCERICES
DISASTER RELIEF OPERATION MINE SITE OPERATION ROBOT DATA ACQUISITOIN SUITABLE FOR ALL EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ADVANTAGES OF MANET:- PROVIDE ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND SERVICES REGARDLESS OF GEOGRAPHIC AREA NETWORK CAN BE SETUP AT ANY PLACE AND AT ANY TIME WORKS WITHOUT ANY INFRASTRUCTURE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION HIGH MOBILITY SMALL & LIGHT EQUIPMENT DISADVANTAGES OF MANET:- Limited resources Limited physical security Lack of authorization facilities Security protocols for wired networks cannot work for ad-hoc network SOME EXAMPLES OF MANET:- LARGE IT CAMPUS EMPLOYEES OF COMPANY MOVING WITH IN A LARGE CAMPUS WITH LAPTOPS &CELL PHONES MOVING SOLDIERS WITH WERABLE COMPUTERS SHOPPING MALLs, RESTAURANTs , COFFEE SHOPS CUSTOMERS SPEND PART OF THE DAY IN A NETWORK WHICH IS MANET NETWORK CONCLUSION:- THUS FROM ABOVE WE CONCLUDE THAT MANET IS A WIRELESS NETWORK WITH MANY ADVANTAGES AND A FEW DISADVATAGES. MANET HAS MANY TYPES. MANET ALSO HAS MANY USES &APPLICATION. REFERENCES:- [1]. Tomas Krag and Sebastian Büettrich (2004-01-24). "Wireless Mesh Networking". O'Reilly Wireles dev center. [2].
