Choose 3 topics from last 12 lectures for term paper/presentation:

• 10/16/07 Ad-hoc Network 1

From this point onwards, we cover more speculative and research oriented material, for which no commercial system has been deployed. Fundamentals of Ad-hoc network. Network clustering. Mesh networks.

• 10/18/07 Ad-hoc Network 2

Ad-hoc networking routing protocols such as AODV, DSR. Material taken mostly from: Ad Hoc Networking by Charles Perkins for the three lectures on ad-hoc networks.

• 10/23/07 Ad Hoc Network 3

Applications and concerns of ad hoc networks, e.g. sensor networks, power consumption, reliability and security.
