Abstract: The idea of an Ad-hoc network is often unaccustomed to end users who have only seen small housing or business networks that use a typical router to send wireless signals to individual computers, the ad hoc network is being used quite a bit in new types of wireless engineering, although until recently it was a rather esoteric idea. For example, the vehicular ad hoc network, includes placing communication devices in cars. Another kind of ad hoc network, a mobile ad hoc network includes mobile devices communicating directly with one another. Both of these are examples of ad hoc networks that use a large collection of individual devices to easily communicate without a kind of top-down or hierarchical communication structure. The point out that for small local area networks, ad hoc networks can be inexpensive to build because they don’t need as much hardware. However, others make the point that a large number of devices can be hard to manage without a larger and more concrete infrastructure. Tech leaders are looking at ways to allow more practically network functionality with these peer-to-peer networks.
