Irish researchers are using collaborative learning techniques to develop a routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). In these networks, which can integrate any kind of WiFi-enabled ...

Point-to-point computer networks contain two or more computers connected to each other using a wireless network adapter. These connections are also known as "ad-hoc" networks. There are many uses for ...

Networks that support the ad hoc architecture are typically called wireless ad hoc networks or Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) these two terms are used interchangeably. Such networks are typically ...

Intel on Monday demonstrated what may be the largest wireless ad-hoc network ever set up, as part of a discussion of its research and development efforts. Such networks, which can be formed and ...

What is an Adhoc Network? An ad hoc network is a temporary, self-organising wireless network where devices connect directly to each other without needing a central hub or existing infrastructure like ...

What if you wanted to share a single Internet connection, but want to share files, use the printer of another PC, send and receive instant messages, in other words -- in short, do pretty much ...

Wireless ad hoc networks have received significant attention in recent years due to their easiness to setup and their potential applications in many domains. Such networks can be useful in situations ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California, San Diego will lead a six-university effort to enable troops to set up mobile communications networks on the battlefield, using lightweight ...

Strange question here, but does anyone know of any access points that are capable of creating/joining an AD-HOC SSID? I have a strange application where I have a device with zero configuration ...

In brief: It's a sad fact that we live in troubling times, as shown by the Doomsday Clock moving to 90 seconds to midnight, the closest we've ever been to reaching total destruction. As such, the US ...

A wireless network that transmits from computer to computer. Instead of using a central base station (access point) to which all computers must communicate, this peer-to-peer mode of operation can ...

Unlike most wireless local area networks, or WLANs, which use a router to provide network connectivity to wireless-capable computers in the area, an ad hoc network does not have a central access point ...
