Principles of Ad Hoc Networking presents a systematic introduction to the fundamentals of ad hoc networks. An ad-hoc network is a small network, especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections. Typically, some of the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a communications session or, in the case of mobile or portable devices, while in some close proximity to the rest of the network. These networks can range from small and static systems with constrained power resources to larger-scale dynamic and mobile environments. Wireless ad hoc networks facilitate numerous and diverse applications for establishing survivable dynamic systems in emergency and rescue operations, disaster relief and intelligent home settings. Principles of Ad Hoc Networking: Introduces the essential characteristics of ad hoc networks such as: physical layer, medium access control, Bluetooth discovery and network formation, wireless network programming and protocols. Explains the crucial components involved in ad-hoc networks in detail with numerous exercises to aid understanding. Offers key results and merges practical methodologies with mathematical considerations. Principles of Ad Hoc Networking will prove essential reading for graduate students in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Physics as well as researchers in the field of ad hoc networking, professionals in wireless telecoms, and networking system developers.

Ad hoc networks have very unique features, such as dynamic topologies, relatively limited bandwidth and wireless signal propagation schemes, which present difficult challenges for wireless communication. We propose control mechanisms for channel access scheduling and topology control in ad hoc networks, respectively, which utilize the neighborhood information within two hops to cope with the difficulties of communicating in ad hoc networks. First, we present the neighbor-aware contention resolution (NCR) algorithm, and analyze its generic performance with regard to the contention delay and system throughput. The required neighbor information in NCR for ad hoc networks is acquired through the neighbor protocol, which is based on a random channel access mechanism and a reliable message propagation scheme using retransmissions. Then, four channel access protocols based on NCR are presented, namely NAMA, LAMA, PAMA and HAMA, which correspond to node-, link-, pair- wise- and hybrid-activation multiple access protocols, respectively. These protocols are aimed at ad hoc networks with omnidirectional antennas, and their performance is analyzed. Furthermore, channel access protocols, adapted from NAMA and PAMA, are considered for heterogeneous ad hoc networks that include unidirectional links, which may occur due to power and signal propagation differences between wireless stations.
