Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Perspective (Signals and Communication Technology) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ad hoc networks are an intriguing possibility of a future type of networking. But severe problems need to be overcome to make these practical. Jurdak describes these. One of which is the choice of topology. Clustered, centralised or something else, like a multihop approach. A key idea is to minimise power consumption. Given that the nodes are likely to be deployed with in a wireless context. Indeed, power issues dominate some sections of the book.
At a higher level, the routing protocols are myriad. It helps to have a background in knowing how TCP/IP works. The book in several places makes reference to the OSI and TCP/IP protocol stacks. If only to explain why ad hoc networks differ in several layers.
A few examples are given of current networks. Most still at an experimental stage.
