A few months ago, I wrote an article about Windows Vista's ability to form ad hoc networks using the IPv6 protocol. Since that time, I have received a considerable amount of email from readers who are ...

An ad hoc network consists of one or more computers that are interconnected, but don't need a centralized access point, such as a router, to transfer data back and forth. Ad hoc networks are ideal for ...

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 ...

An ideal application for mesh networking is off-grid communication; when there’s no cellular reception and WiFi won’t reach, wide-area technologies like LoRa can be used to create ad hoc wireless ...

Even the often far-reaching researchers at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) seems to think this one is a stretch: Develop what’s known as mobile ad-hoc wireless technology that lets ...

Neighbor discovery is a fundamental process in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks, enabling nodes to locate one another, establish connectivity and support higher-layer protocols. This process is ...

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 ...

Vehicular Ad hoc wireless NETworks (VANETs) are a particularly challenging class of Mobile Ad hoc wireless NETworks (MANETs) that are currently attracting the extensive attention of research in the ...

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 ...

Patented technology addresses challenges of future wide-band RF networks, including 6G deployment. In-memory computing supports mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). ST ...
