Multi-Hop Ad Hoc Networks from Theory to Reality (Hardcover)

Mobile Multi-hop Ad Hoc Networks are collections of mobile nodes connected together over a wireless medium. These nodes can freely and dynamically self-organise into arbitrary and temporary, "ad-hoc" network topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internetwork in areas with no pre-existing communication infrastructure, (e.g., disaster recovery environments). The aim of this book is to present some of the most relevant results achieved by applying an experimental approach to the research on multi-hop ad hoc networks. The unique aspect of the book is to present measurements, experiences and lessons obtained by implementing ad hoc networks prototypes.

移動多跳自組網路是由移動節點通過無線媒介連接在一起的集合。這些節點可以自由且動態地自組成任意和臨時的「自組網路」拓撲，使人們和設備能夠在沒有預先存在的通信基礎設施的區域中無縫互聯（例如，災難恢復環境）。本書的目的是介紹應用實驗方法研究多跳自組網路所取得的一些最相關的結果。本書的獨特之處在於介紹實施自組網路原型所獲得的測量、經驗和教訓。
