Publisher's Synopsis
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) represent a remarkable evolution in wireless communication technology, characterized by their dynamic and self-configuring nature. Unlike traditional networks, MANETs do not rely on any fixed infrastructure, making them highly adaptable and resilient in various environments. This book aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the principles, protocols, and applications that define the landscape of mobile ad-hoc networks.In recent years, the proliferation of mobile devices and the growing need for seamless connectivity have propelled MANETs to the forefront of wireless communication research and development. From disaster recovery scenarios to military operations, from vehicular communication systems to the Internet of Things (IoT), the applications of MANETs are as diverse as they are impactful. This book delves into the theoretical foundations as well as the practical implementations of these networks, offering readers a balanced perspective on both the challenges and opportunities they present.
