MANET (Mobile Ad-Hoc Network) - (BCA / B.Tech)

MANET (Mobile Ad-Hoc Network):

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a type of wireless network where mobile devices connect directly to each other to exchange data without needing any fixed network infrastructure (like routers or base stations). This type of network is self-organizing and self-configuring, with each device in the network having the ability to operate independently.

Features of MANET:

Wireless Connection: All devices connect wirelessly.
Infrastructure-less Network: No fixed infrastructure is needed for its operation.
Mobility: A key feature is that devices can constantly move or change location, making the network dynamic.
Self-Management: Each node (device) in a MANET cooperates in managing the network and maintaining connections.
Routing: The routing process is very important. A path is chosen with the help of several nodes to deliver a data packet from one node to another.

Working Principle of MANET:

MANET is a decentralized network with no central controller. The document explains the roles of nodes (source, destination, relay), the process of route discovery (mentioning protocols like AODV, DSDV, DSR), data transmission, and connectivity maintenance.

Applications, Advantages, and Challenges:

Applications: Military communication, emergency services, vehicular communication, and mobile applications that work without an internet connection.

Advantages: Quick and easy network setup, low-cost operation, and flexibility.

Challenges: Routing complexity, security threats, and limited scalability.
