Ad-hoc networks Bellman-ford routing protocol DSDV Critique Suitability of DSDV to sensor networks
Ad-hoc Networks
Group of nodes which form a network in
the absence of any infrastructure network
- r centralized administration (base
station, etc.)
All nodes can talk to
- ne another directly
Ad-hoc Networks (Cont.)
A and B can talk B and C can talk A and C can’t talk directly B acts as a router to forward packets between A
and C
A B C Every node in an ad-hoc network acts as a router
