A few months ago, I wrote an article about Windows Vista's ability to form ad hoc networks using the IPv6 protocol. Since that time, I have received a considerable amount of email from readers who are ...

Neighbor discovery is a fundamental process in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks, enabling nodes to locate one another, establish connectivity and support higher-layer protocols. This process is ...

Intel on Monday demonstrated what may be the largest wireless ad-hoc network ever set up, as part of a discussion of its research and development efforts. Such networks, which can be formed and ...

Networks that support the ad hoc architecture are typically called wireless ad hoc networks or Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) these two terms are used interchangeably. Such networks are typically ...

When you’re on the road, your portable Mac is often on its own, cut adrift from the networks it usually relies on for Internet access and file sharing. And while you can often get Net access, one way ...

Setting up a wireless Internet connection without using a router is usually done "ad hoc," which is a Latin phrase sometimes used to describe a temporary, quick fix. Typically, your small business ...

Wireless ad hoc networks have received significant attention in recent years due to their easiness to setup and their potential applications in many domains. Such networks can be useful in situations ...

From traffic lights to mobile phones, small computers are all around us. Enabling these 'embedded systems' to create wireless communications networks automatically will have profound effects in areas ...

A wireless network that transmits from computer to computer. Instead of using a central base station (access point) to which all computers must communicate, this peer-to-peer mode of operation can ...

Decentralized ad hoc networks, the kind we’re likely to see more of as IoT use increases, could self-discover their network size by copying ant colony behavior Ants figure out details related to the ...

Irish researchers are using collaborative learning techniques to develop a routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). In these networks, which can integrate any kind of WiFi-enabled ...
