ABSTRACT

Among these, research and enterprise interest on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) has increased exponentially in recent years. These kinds of networks extend mobility to any scenario, as all components of the network play the roles of both node and router. In this way, the nodes can dynamically set up a new network without previously installing any fixed network infrastructure. As a matter of fact, the main goal of MANETs is to provide real movement capability due to its lack of infrastructure.
