Analysis and Simulation of Wireless Ad-Hoc Network Routing Protocols

An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Ad-hoc networks, characterized by dynamic topology. Each host moves in an arbitrary manner and routes are subjec...
