TLDR
In this article, the authors present a series of technical papers about ad hoc networks from a variety of laboratories and experts, and explain the latest thinking on how mobile devices can best discover, identify, and communicate with other devices in the vicinity.Abstract:
Ad hoc networks are to computing devices what Yahoo Personals are to single people: both help individuals communicate productively with strangers while maintaining security. Under the rules of ad hoc networking--which continue to evolve--your mobile phone can, when placed in proximity to your handheld address book, establish a little network on its own and enable data sharing between the two devices. In Ad Hoc Networking, Charles Perkins has compiled a series of technical papers about networking on the fly from a variety of laboratories and experts. The collection explains the latest thinking on how mobile devices can best discover, identify, and communicate with other devices in the vicinity. In this treatment, ad hoc networking covers a broad swath of situations. An ad hoc network might consist of several home-computing devices, plus a notebook computer that must exist on home and office networks without extra administrative work. Such a network might also need to exist when the people and equipment in normally unrelated military units need to work together in combat. Though the papers in this book are much more descriptive of protocols and algorithms than of their implementations, they aim individually and collectively at commercialization and popularization of mobile devices that make use of ad hoc networking. You'll enjoy this book if you're involved in researching or implementing ad hoc networking capabilities for mobile devices. --David Wall Topics covered: The state-of-the-art in protocols and algorithms to be used in ad hoc networks of mobile devices that move in and out of proximity to one another, to fixed resources like printers, and to Internet connectivity. Routing with Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), and other resource-discovery and routing protocols; the effects of ad hoc networking on bandwidth consumption; and battery life.read more

Robust Geo-Routing on Embeddings of Dynamic Wireless Networks
TL;DR: This work develops a beacon-based distributed embedding algorithm that requires little control overhead, produces low distortion embeddings, and is stable, and shows that a low-dimensional embedding suffices, since at a sufficiently large scale, wireless connectivity graphs are dictated by geometry.

Border Node Based Routing Protocol for VANETs in Sparse and Rural Areas
Mingliu Zhang,Richard S. Wolff +1 more
TL;DR: A border node based routing (BBR) protocol that can tolerate low node density and high node mobility is proposed that is evaluated in OPNETtrade and indicates that BBR protocol performs well under partially connected conditions where DSR fails and yields results comparable to DSR when the network is fully connected.

Migration of mobile agents in ad-hoc, wireless networks
TL;DR: The paper shows that, in most cases, the static agent approach is faster than the mobile agent approach in retrieving data from a wireless remote database, but if the amount of data to be retrieved is relatively large, such as in the gathering of data for routing information, the mobile agents are more capable of filtering data according to the required preferences.
