Remainder: for doing an assignment


Need to create a new ad hoc network
1. Connect 2 devices either through
a. Mobile hot spot or
b. Create a virtual LAN network adapter

Routing Protocols
Routing simply means, to route a packet One into other node
selecting a path from source to destination.

Main goal of routing protocol is to obtain/finding an efficient path


between mobile nodes. (optimal path) This not an easy task to
find/determine which protocol is best suitable for a network.

General Concepts

 Ad hoc Networks are a type of Distributed Wireless Networks


 Ad Hoc networks operate in the Time Division Duplex (TDD)
mode
o It is not possible to receive and transmit at the same time
instant
 Neighbour nodes communicate with one another using single-
hop wireless technology like Bluetooth, ZigBee and IEEE
802.11 (Ad hoc mode)
 Nodes which are distant from each other (outside direct
transmission range of each other) communicate using a
sequence of intermediate nodes which co-operate to forward
the traffic to the destination.
Enabling Technologies:
 Basic building blocks of ad hoc network communications that
enable single hop communication between devices in the direct
communication range of each other
 Wireless Ad-Hoc Communication Technologies
 ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) – Short range (~100m) Low Date Rate
(<250 kb/s)
 Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1) – for Personal Are Networks (PAN)
 IEEE 802.11 (in Ad-Hoc Mode) – High Speed Medium range
MANETs
 IEEE 802.16 – High Speed Wide Range

 Wide availability of 802.11 NICs have made this most widely


used technology

 802.11 is not being originally designed for ad hoc networks,


suffers from various performance issues.

 However, technologies such as directional antennas, MIMO


technologies are used which can help in improving the
performance of these networks.

Networking Technologies:
 Use the one-hop direct communication capabilities provided by
the underlying enabling technologies to provide end-to-end
reliable communication from sender (one or more) to receiver
(one or more), not in the direct communication range
 Functions
 Routing – Identifying the path from sender to receiver
 Forwarding - Using the previously identified path to actually
forward the packets

 Designing Routing protocols for MANETs is one of the main


research challenges.

 On top these, MANETs use Transmission Control Protocol


(TCP).
 But inherent challenges of Ad-Hoc networks make ill-suited for
MANETs

Classification of Wireless Ad Hoc networks

Types of Ad Hoc Network (cont.)


Mobile Ad Hoc Network
 Infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected
wirelessly which follow the self-CHOP properties
o Self-Configure
o Self-Heal
o Self-Optimize
o Self-Protect
 Highly dynamic topology which frequent link changes
 Nodes acts as routers to forward other nodes’ packets
 MANETs enable spatial spectrum re-use due to limited
bandwidth of each node
