Features: This book comprehensively introduces the new technology in the field of mobile communications—AdHoc network technology. Closely aligning with the characteristics of AdHoc networks, such as their decentralized, self-organizing, and freely mobile nature, it elaborates on and analyzes the advantages, existing issues, solution approaches, and future challenges of wireless communication networks that operate without foundational communication infrastructure. The book focuses on introducing key aspects of AdHoc networks, including their hierarchical architecture, channel access, routing, clustering, power control, QoS assurance, network applications, and specific implementation issues. The author possesses extensive teaching and research experience in the field of communication networks and has conducted long-term, in-depth research on various related areas of AdHoc network technology. Portions of this book are the results of these studies, with many contributions derived from original research papers. The author and their research center have undertaken numerous research projects in the field of AdHoc networks, and relevant research findings are also cited in this book. By integrating the rapidly evolving AdHoc network technology with fundamental principles, the book not only introduces the basic concepts of various AdHoc network technologies in an accessible manner but also provides a more in-depth exploration of their technical. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in communication engineering, electronic information, and computer application engineering disciplines. It is also suitable for university instructors and engineering professionals in related fields.
