The Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) has emerged as the next frontier for wireless communications networking in both the military and commercial arena. Handbook of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks for Mobility Models introduces 40 different major mobility models along with numerous associate mobility models to be used in a variety of MANET networking environments in the ground, air, space, and/or under water mobile vehicles and/or handheld devices. These vehicles include cars, armors, ships, under-sea vehicles, manned and unmanned airborne vehicles, spacecrafts and more. This handbook also describes how each mobility pattern affects the MANET performance from physical to application layer; such as throughput capacity, delay, jitter, packet loss and packet delivery ratio, longevity of route, route overhead, reliability, and survivability. Case studies, examples, and exercises are provided throughout the book. Handbook of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks for Mobility Models is for advanced-level students and researchers concentrating on electrical engineering and computer science within wireless technology. Industry professionals working in the areas of mobile ad hoc networks, communications engineering, military establishments engaged in communications engineering, equipment manufacturers who are designing radios, mobile wireless routers, wireless local area networks, and mobile ad hoc network equipment will find this book useful as well.

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is defined as a self-configuring infrastructureless network used for communication by wireless links with the support of mobile devices. A MANET is referred to as a wireless network with independent nodes moving freely with respect to each other. Due to the independent free moves of nodes, a huge amount of packet data loss occurs in transmitting the packet from source to destination. The risk of node misbehaviour is extremely high. The unsecured ad hoc network environment is initiated due to the active nature of networks and node mobility. In addition, the task of key management is more complex in ad hoc network. Due to the nature of free moving characteristics, MANET faces improper node cooperation. The main reason behind ineffective node cooperation is presence of malicious or selfish nodes. Moreover, the existence of malicious unauthenticated nodes causes insecure communication. Hence, the proposed system aims in the development of proper node cooperation, malicious node detection and secure communication in MANET.
