A Survey on Taxonomy of Wireless Ad hoc Networks
Main Article Content
Abstract
Wireless Ad hoc Networks contains different characteristics and is therefore classified into mobile ad hoc networks, wireless mesh networks and wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we have analyzed each of the above categories of wireless ad hoc networks. Their salient characteristics and applications are gathered and summarized. Further, this paper briefly addresses the scalability issues of wireless mesh networks. This paper will help the reader to understand the various issues related to the wireless networks and to propose efficient schemes to improve their performance.
Keywords: Wireless Mesh Networks, Mobile Ad Hoc Net Works, Wireless Sensor Networks and Scalability.
