WHAT IS AN ADHOC NETWORK?
WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS
• There are many types of wireless ad hoc networks based on their application.
Some of them are mobile adhoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks
(WSNs), wireless mesh networks (WMNs), and vehicular ad hoc networks
(VANETs).

FEATURES OF ADHOC NETWORKS
(QUANTITATIVE)
• Network settling time:
• Network join time:
• Network depart time:
• Network recovery time:
• Frequency of updates (overhead):
• Memory byte requirement:
• Network scalability:
FEATURES (QUALITATIVE)
Distributed operation
fully distributed involving minimum control overhead
Synchronization
Mandatory for TDMA-based systems
Hidden terminals
Can significantly reduce the throughput of a MAC protocol
Exposed terminals
To improve the efficiency of the MAC protocol, the exposed nodes should
be allowed to transmit in a controlled fashion without causing collision to
the on-going data transfer
JUST A REVISION…
POSSIBLE SOLUTION…
MACA IS THE SOLUTION..
SHORTCOMINGS OF MACA SOLUTION?
• The RTS-CTS method does not always solve the hidden terminal problem.
• Problematic scenario occurs when
• 1.Collision can occur when RTS and CTS control messages are sent by
different nodes.
• 2. It does not provide any acknowledgement of data.
ARE THERE SHORTCOMINGS OF RTS-CTS
SOLUTION?
2. MACAW
In MACA , an exposed node can received only the RTS and not the
CTS packet
• The RTS-CTS packets are sent using maximum available power (Pmax)
• The data and ACK packets are sent with minimum power required to communicate.
• At times…the data packet are also transmitted at maximum power level, so that the
nodes in carrier sensing range may sense it.
• Drawbacks
• Requires an accurate estimation of received packet signal strength.
• Fading and shadowing may degrade its performance??
• Difficulty in implementing frequent changes in transmit power level.
POWER-AWARE MULTI-ACCESS PROTOCOL
WITH SIGNALING (PAMAS)
• Each node makes an independent decision about whether to power off
its transceiver.
The conditions that force a node to power off include:
• If a node has no packets to transmit, it should power off if one of its
neighboring nodes is transmitting.
• If a node has packets to transmit, but at least one of the neighboring
nodes is transmitting and another is receiving, then it should power off
its transceiver.
• A node can selectively power down only its data interface and
leave the signalling interface power on.
MAC PROTOCOL BASED ON WHO INITIATES
THE COMMUNICATION REQUEST
• Receiver initiated protocols
• Sender initiated protocols
INTRODUCTION TO VANETS
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14fOqMBn9aw
V2V COMMUNICATION
• Vehicle control information such as the break status, transmission state and
steering wheel angle as well as the vehicle’s path history and path prediction.
• Uses multihop technique.
• In a VANET, each vehicle in the system is equipped with a computing device, a short-range
wireless interface, and a global positioning system (GPS) receiver. GPS receiver provides location,
speed, current time, and direction of the vehicle.
• Each vehicle stores information about itself and other vehicles in a local database. The
