  2. Ad Hoc Configuration Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_Hoc_Configuration_Protocol

    The Ad Hoc Configuration Protocol (AHCP) is an autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6 and dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 networks designed to be used in place of router discovery and DHCP on networks where it is difficult or impossible to configure a server within every link-layer broadcast domain, for example mobile ad hoc networks.

  3. Beacon frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beacon_frame

    This is the time interval between beacon transmissions. The time at which a node (AP, station when in ad hoc or P2P GO mode) must send a beacon is known as target beacon transmission time (TBTT). The beacon interval is expressed in time units . It is a configurable parameter in the AP and typically configured as 100 TU. [2] Capability information

  4. List of ad hoc routing protocols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ad_hoc_routing...

    An ad hoc routing protocol is a convention, or standard, that controls how nodes decide which way to route packets between computing devices in a mobile ad hoc network. In ad hoc networks, nodes are not familiar with the topology of their networks. Instead, they have to discover it: typically, a new node announces its presence and listens for ...

  5. Ad hoc network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc_network

    An ad hoc network refers to technologies that allow network communications on an ad hoc basis. [1] Associated technologies include: Wireless ad hoc network; Mobile ad hoc network; Vehicular ad hoc network. Intelligent vehicular ad hoc network; Protocols associated with ad hoc networking. Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing; Ad Hoc ...

  6. Multi-hop routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-hop_routing

    [1] Since the transceiver is the major source of power consumption in a radio node and long distance transmission requires high power, in some cases multi-hop routing can be more energy efficient than single-hop routing. [2] Typical applications of multi-hop routing: Wireless sensor networks; Wireless mesh networks; Mobile ad hoc networks

  7. Wireless access point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_access_point

    An ad hoc network uses a connection between two or more devices without using a wireless access point; the devices communicate directly. Because setup is easy and does not require an access point, an ad hoc network is used in situations such as a quick data exchange or a multiplayer video game. Due to its peer-to-peer layout, ad hoc Wi-Fi ...

  8. Service set (802.11 network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_set_(802.11_network)

    An independent BSS (IBSS), or ad hoc network, is created by peer devices among themselves without network infrastructure. [6] A temporary network created by a cellular telephone to share its Internet access with other devices is a common example.

  9. Wireless mesh network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network

    In a wireless mesh network, topology tends to be more static, so that routes computation can converge and delivery of data to their destinations can occur. Hence, this is a low-mobility centralized form of wireless ad hoc network. Also, because it sometimes relies on static nodes to act as gateways, it is not a truly all-wireless ad hoc network.
