MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKING

---

Themobilemultihopadhocnetworkingparadigmwasbornwiththeideaofextending Internet services to groups of mobile users. In these networks, often referred to as MANETs (Mobile Ad hoc NETworks), the wireless network nodes (e.g., the users’ mobile devices) communicate with each other to perform data transfer without the support of any network infrastructure: Nearby users can communicate directly by exploiting the wireless technologies of their devices in ad hoc mode. For this reason, in a MANET the users’ devices must cooperatively provide the Internet services usually provided by the network infrastructure (e.g., routers, switches, and servers). At the time we published our first book, “Mobile Ad Hoc Networking” (IEEE- Wiley, 2004), mobile ad hoc networking was seen as one of the most innovative and challenging areas of wireless networking, and was poised to become one of the main technologiesoftheincreasinglypervasiveworldoftelecommunications.Inthatspirit, our first book presented a comprehensive view of MANETs, with topics ranging from the physical up to the application layer. After about a decade, we observe that the promise of ad hoc networking never fully realized, and that MANET solutions are not used in people’s life. What happened, and why?
