RESEARCH ON AD HOC NETWORKING: CURRENT ACTIVITY AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

This article is a survey on the current status and direction of research on ad hoc networking. We categorize the ongoing research and outline the major challenges which have to be solved before widespread deployment of the technology is possible. The views presented by Perkins in [1] are used as a premise, which is then complemented with discussion and references to the latest publications.

This paper contains an overview of the discussions on future research directions within the subject of ad hoc networking, held at the Wireless World Research Forum meetings during 2001. Ad hoc networking is an emerging research field where ad hoc networks are no longer viewed as stand-alone groups of wireless terminals. On the contrary, ad hoc networks are expected to

Recent trends in compact computing and wireless technologies are expansion of ad hoc network. Ad hoc network consists of versatile flat forms which are free to move expeditiously. Ad hoc networks are multi-hop network that use wireless communication for transmission without any fixed infrastructure. The networks are form and deform on-the-fly without the need for any system. Ad hoc structure does not require an access point, it is easy to setup, especially in a small or temporary network. Each node in the network forwards the packet without the need of central administration. In ad hoc network, node acts as a router to send and receive the data. An advantage of the system is robustness, flexibility and mobility. Ad hoc network are capable for analyzing radio propagation environment to optimize the performance. This typically requires that the network node have positioning capability as well as memory to recall geographical local condition. An ad hoc network typically refers to any set of network where all devices have equal status on a network and are free to associate with any other ad hoc network device in link range. Ad hoc network often refers to a mode of operation of IEEE802.11 wireless networks. This review is focused on the applications, advantages and challenges of ad hoc networks.

In recent years, many network scientists have turned their attention away from centralized networks, such as the Internet and the cell-phone network, toward the ad hoc networks-wireless networks formed on the fly. The problems of ad-hoc networks are very tantalizing, they are exciting to work on and they have an interesting mathematical structure. Despite the technical challenges, the interests of the ad hoc networks kept on increasing, because they support mobility and are very well-suited for many difficult situations, such as rescue mission, military, vehicular communications, etc. All of traditional distributed computing theory deals with wired-network and those communication protocols have been studied for many years. This work presents a descriptive of the what, why and how of ad-hoc networks-the concept of ad hoc networks. Keywords: ad hoc, communication, routing, on the fly and centralized networks. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Since the inception of wireless networking there have been two types of wireless networks: the infrastructure network, including some Local Area Networks (LANs), and the ad hoc network. Ad hoc in Latin means 'for this purpose'. Ad hoc networks therefore refer to networks created for a particular purpose. They are often created on-the-fly and for one-time or temporary use. Often, ad hoc networks comprised of a group of workstations or other wireless devices which communicate directly with each other to exchange information. These connections are spontaneous networks, available to whoever is in a given area. An ad hoc network is one where there are no access points passing information between participants. Infrastructure networks pass information through a central information hub which can be a hardware device or software on a computer. Office networks, for example, generally use a server to which company workstations connect to receive their information. Ad hoc networks, on the other hand, do not go through a central information hub. Ad hoc networks are common for portable video game systems like the Sony PSP or the Nintendo DS because they allow players to link to each other to play video games 2278-1080

Ad-Hoc Network Research Topics

Ad-Hoc Network research topics is becoming one of most popular and majorly chosen field in recent years. The term Ad-hoc is not a new word; it has its great impact in the previous years. The term Ad-Hoc is coined because they do not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure like routers. Ad-Hoc network are decentralized type of wireless network which are also otherwise known as IBSS (also Independent Basic Service Set). Minimal configuration and Quick development makes the Ad-Hoc networks suitable for emergency situations like natural disaster and military conflicts. Most popular area in Ad-Hoc topics includes security, scalability, mobility, and also coordination. Each area under this area has widespread scope for research.

Ad-hoc networks do not need also any expensive infrastructure; it forms the separate network, where the distribution of information is very fast. An advantage of the Ad-Hoc network is rapid deployment, robustness, flexibility, inherent support for mobility. It has an added advantage of increased power efficiency, QOS and also automatic deployment. These advantages give rise to ideas for scholars who are also looking towards Ad-hoc Network research topics .

In general, Nodes in ad hoc networks enter and also leave the network based on their wish using routing concept. But here security concept lags and to improve scalability will also adversely affect the power efficiency. This are minute concepts but has major impact on day today life which makes this field best for research. All support regarding the issues and also solutions in adhoc network are also provided by our dynamic team. Journals and paper publication in top journals like SCI in this domain can also give added reward for PhD scholars. We also have separate team to guide scholars for paper publication in top journals.

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a promising technology for enabling efficient communication among vehicles and between vehicles and the infrastructure. The proposed work provides a review of the current state of research and development in the field of VANETs. VANETs facilitate the exchange of information related to traffic conditions, road hazards, and other relevant data, enhancing road safety and traffic efficiency and providing various value-added services to drivers and passengers. The unique characteristics of VANETs, such as high mobility, limited communication range, and dynamic network topology, pose several challenges for their efficient operation. This review covers key aspects of VANET research, including communication protocols, routing algorithms, security mechanisms, and applications. Various communication protocols, such as IEEE 802.11p, Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), and Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), have been proposed and evaluated for VANETs.
