Algorithms and protocols for wireless, mobile ad Hoc networks

Advances in wireless networking and mobile communication technologies, coupled with the proliferation of portable computers, have led to development efforts for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks. This book focuses on several aspects of wireless ad hoc networks, particularly algorithmic methods and distributed computing with mobility and computation capabilities. It covers everything you need to build a foundation for the design of future mobile ad hoc networks and is complemented with a set of exercises that challenge you to test your understanding of the material.
