Abstract
Recent advances in portable computing and wireless technologies are opening up exciting possibilities for the future of wireless mobile networking. A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) consists of mobile plaOCorrns which are free to move arbitrarily. This is in contrast with the topology of the existing Internet, where the router topology is essentially static (barring network configuration or router failures). In a MANET, the nodes are mobile and inter-node connectivity may change frequently during normal operation. In this course we will focus our attention on current protocols which provide connectivity in mobile ad hoc networks, such as routing and MAC protocols. Moreover, we will also cover an emerging promising area within ad hoc networks called Sensor Networks and demonstrate its wide applicability. We will conclude this course by discussing current challenges to mobile networking that have not received as much attention from the research community, and then highlighting some of the current wireless protocol standardization efforts within the IETF and the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group).
