Deepening of knowledge Mobile and Wireless Networking.
After completing this course successfully, the student can:
- Explain main concepts for wireless ad-hoc networks, the main new problems in the design of such networks, and techniques proposed to deal with those problems
- Describe specific concepts and techniques for ad-hoc networks such as delay-tolerant networking, vehicular networks, quality of service, congestion control, geonetworking, and power control.
- Discuss important challenges and proposed solutions for (related) systems that are currently under research.
- Use basic analysis techniques to compare design alternatives with respect to throughput, delay, scalability, energy efficiency, and spectrum utilization.

The goal of this course is for the student to deepen the knowledge obtained in the course Mobile &Wireless Networking (MWN) (192620010), by studying selected articles, and by carrying out and presenting a small research project on a specific topic.
Whereas MWN addresses concepts and techniques for wireless and mobile networks in general, Ad Hoc Networks will focus on wireless ad-hoc networks. Ad-hoc networking facilitates communication between a (potentially very large) group of devices without the need for a centrally managed infrastructure. Potential application fields of the techniques discussed in Ad Hoc Networks are vehicular networks, networks for emergency and rescue services, for factories and logistics, and sensor networks. This course will address the main concepts for wireless ad-hoc networks, the main new problems in the design of such networks, and techniques proposed to deal with those problems. Topics that will be discussed in the course may include delay-tolerant networking, vehicular networks, quality of service, congestion control, geonetworking, millimeter-wave communications, power control, and integration of cellular and ad-hoc networking in 5G/6G mobile networks.
Ad Hoc Networks will focus on important challenges and proposed solutions for systems that are currently under research. Basic analysis techniques will be used to compare design alternatives w.r.t. throughput, delay, scalability, energy efficiency, and spectrum utilization.
The course consists of two main components:
- Studying papers. Research papers have to be read, and will be discussed. This part is assessed with an exam.
- A small research project. Research has to be carried out on one of the topics of the course. This part is assessed based on a research presentation.
