AD HOC NETWORKS: Technologies and Protocols is a concise in-depth treatment of
various constituent components of ad hoc network protocols. It reviews issues
related to medium access control, scalable routing, group communications, use of
directional/smart antennas, network security, and power management among other
topics. The authors examine various technologies that may aid ad hoc networking
including the presence of an ability to tune transmission power levels or the
deployment of sophisticated smart antennae. Contributors to this volume include
experts that have been active in ad hoc network research and have published in
the premier conferences and journals in this subject area. AD HOC NETWORKS:
