Features: This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the characteristics, development, key technologies, and research hotspots of Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (). The book is divided into 18 chapters. Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction to the concepts and features of wireless communication. Chapter 2 introduces the development history and application prospects of wireless mobile ad hoc networks. Chapter 3 briefly analyzes the media access control (MAC) issues in ad hoc networks, discussing the difficulties and key problems in achieving distributed media access control in ad hoc networks. Chapters 4 and 5 introduce MAC protocols for asynchronous and synchronous networks, respectively. Chapter 6 analyzes routing issues in ad hoc networks. Chapters 7 and 8 introduce proactive and reactive routing protocols. Chapter 9 introduces routing protocols that support large-scale ad hoc networks. Chapter 10 introduces routing protocols in ad hoc networks that utilize geographic location information. Chapter 11 introduces QoS routing protocols for ad hoc networks. Chapter 12 introduces power-aware routing protocols for ad hoc networks. Chapter 13 introduces multicast routing protocols for ad hoc networks. Chapter 14 analyzes QoS issues in ad hoc networks. Chapter 15 analyzes security issues in ad hoc networks. Chapter 16 introduces wireless ad hoc networks developed for military communications. Chapter 17 analyzes the integration of ad hoc networks with cellular mobile communication systems. Chapter 18 introduces the characteristics, architectures, and key technologies of sensor networks from a communication perspective. The book is rich in content and well-structured, making it suitable for readers in the field of communication, as well as serving as a graduate textbook for communication and computer science programs in higher education institutions.
