Ad Hoc Network

Ad hoc networks are self-organizing wireless networks lacking centralized infrastructure, primarily focusing on robust and efficient communication despite dynamic topologies and node mobility. Current research emphasizes developing sophisticated routing protocols, often employing machine learning techniques like graph neural networks and multi-agent reinforcement learning, to optimize resource allocation, ensure quality of service, and enhance security against various attacks. These advancements are crucial for diverse applications, including robotic teams, IoT deployments, and emergency response scenarios, where reliable communication is essential even in the absence of pre-existing infrastructure.
