What are the limits of infrastructure-based networks? [2]

1. Infrastructure breaks // Disaster areas

2. Expensive inconvenient time-consuming set up // Military

What are possible applications of infrastructure-free networks? [5]

1. Factory floor automation

2. Disaster recovery // In an avalanche

3. Car-to-car communication finding empty parking lot

4. Military networking between tanks, soldiers

5. Personal area networking

What are the characteristics of mobile wireless ad-hoc networks (MANET)? [4]

1. Without infrastructure using networking abilities of participants

2. Network “for a special purpose”

3. Expensive equipment

4. “Human in the loop” applications

What is the reaction on no central entity for MANET?

Self-organization

What is the reaction on limited range of wireless communication for MANET?

Multi-hopping

Adaptive protocols

What is the principle for wireless sensor networks (WSN)?

Focus on interacting with the environment and not with humans

What are the centric concepts of MANET and WSN? [2]

1. id-centric for MANET and 2. data-centric for WSN improving efficiency
