Abstract
Ad hoc wireless networks communicate over wireless links without a fixed communication structure. As they can be deployed easily and quickly, these networks have many applications such as tactical operations, monitoring, military networks, and rescue operations. In this chapter, we investigate the basic principles, design issues, and modeling and simulation of important types of ad hoc wireless networks.
