2. ADHOC NETWORK
• An AD Hoc network is one that is spontaneously formed when devices connect
and communicate with each other. the term ad hoc is a latin word that literally
means "for this " implying improvised or impromptu.
• Ad hoc networks are mostly wireless local area networks (lans). The devices
communicate with each other directly instead of relying on a base station or
access points as in wireless lans for data transfer co-ordination. Each device
participates in routing activity, by determining the route using the routing
algorithm and forwarding data to other devices via this route.
3. TYPES OF ADHOC NETWORK
• SELF ORGANIZING AD HOC NETWORK
• MOBILE AD HOC NETWORK (MANET)
• VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORK
• SMARTPHONE AD HOC NETWORK
4. SELF ORGANIZATION IN AD HOC NETWORK
• Self organization is used for building scalable systems consisting of huge
numbers of subsystems.
• The primary objectives are coordination and collaboration on a global goal.
• The communication between nodes of an ad hoc network is organized in a local
manner, this means there is no centralized coordinator that controls the nodes.
• The primary objectives are improved scalability and dynamic adaptation to
changing environmental conditions.
6. PROBLEM FACED IN SELF ORGANIZING AD
HOC
• Where to run which (part of the) application and how to
distribute data and activity over the network?
7. VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORKS
• VANET uses vehicles as mobile nodes are a sub class of mobile ad hoc networks
(manets) to provide communications among nearby vehicles and between
vehicles and nearby roadside equipment but apparently differ from other
networks by their own characteristics
• VANET posses a unique characteristics such as high dynamic topology and
predictable mobility.
• Due to the characteristics of vanets such as high dynamic topology and
intermittent connectivity, the existing routing algorithms in manets are not
available for most application scenarios in vanets.
8. PROBLEM FACED IN VANETS
• DESIGNING A VANET THAT MEETS ALL THE IEEE 802.11 STANDARD
REQUIREMENTS WITH THE HELP OF OPTIMAL ROUTING PROTOCOL THAT
IMPROVES CONNECTIVITY AMONG AD HOC NETWORKS
9. DOS ATTACKS IN MOBILE AD-HOC
NETWORKS
• MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS ARE CALLED MANETS.
• NOWADAYS IT IS OFTEN THAT AN DOS ATTACK IS HELD ON SOME AD HOC
NETWORKS.
• EACH NODE IN A MANET IS CAPABLE OF ACTING AS A ROUTER.
10. TYPES OF DOS ATTACK
• WORMHOLE ATTACK
• BLACKHOLE ATTACK
• GRAYHOLE ATTACK
11. ADVANTAGE OF AD HOC NETWORK
• SEPARATION FROM CENTRAL NETWORK ADMINISTRATION.
• SELF-CONFIGURING NODES ARE ALSO ROUTERS.
• SCALABILITY INCORPORATES THE ADDITION OF MORE NODES.
• FLEXIBLE AD HOC CAN BE TEMPORARILY SETUP AT ANYTIME, IN ANY PLACE.
12. CHALLENGES OF ADHOC NETWORK
• QOS (QUALITY OF SERVICE)
• LIMITED RESOURCES
• SCALABILITY
• SECURITY
