2. Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Mario Gerla CS 215, Winter 2001 Introduction to Ad Hoc networks Protocol Stack Physical and MAC Layer Clustering

3. Cellular vs Multihop Standard Base-Station Cellular Networks Ad Hoc, Multihop wireless Networks

4. General Ad Hoc Network Characteristics Instantly deployable, re-configurable infrastructure Node mobility Heterogeneous nodes (big/small; fast/slow etc) Heterogeneous traffic (voice, image, video, data) Limited battery power Multihopping ( to save power, overcome obstacles, enhance spatial spectrum reuse, etc.)

5. Ad Hoc Network Applications Disaster Recovery (flood, fire, earthquakes etc) Law enforcement (crowd control, border patrol, etc.) Search and rescue in remote areas Sport events, festivals Ad hoc collaborative computing (Bluetooth) Indoor network appliances (Bluetooth, HomeRF) Mobile access to Internet (Metricom) Sensor networks (e.g., to replace mine fields) Automated battlefield

6. UAV Network Battlefield: the Warfighter’s Information Network (WIN) How does the network perform as it is scaled to 100,000+ heterogeneous devices? OSPF, FishEye, or DAWN, routing?

7. Ad Hoc, Personal Networking with Bluetooth headset cell phone storage palmtop PDA

8. Bluetooth Network – Piconet master slave 1 slave 2 slave 3 Piconets created ad-hoc Master-Slave concept Piconets defined by its frequency hopping sequence

9. slave master master/slave Multiple Piconets: Ad Hoc Scatternet
