1.Define MANET.
• MANET - Mobile Adhoc NETworks
. Continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected
without wires

2. List the advantages of MANET. Independence


from central network administration
• Self-configuring, nodes are also routers
• Self-healing through continuous re-configuration
• Scalable-accommodates the addition of more nodes
• Flexible-similar to being able to access 'the Internet from many different locations
• Ease of deployment
• Speed of deployment
• Decreased dependence on infrastructure
. Reduced administrative cost
• Supports anytime and anywhere computing

3. What are the limitations of MANET?


•Each node must have full performance
•Throughput is affected by system loading
•Reliability requires a sufficient number of available nodes
•Large networks can have excessive latency (time delay), which affects some applications
•Limited wireless range •Hidden terminals
•Packet losses due to transmission errors •Routes changes
•Devices heterogeneity •Battery power
constraints
•Link changes are happening quite often •Routing loop
may exist

4. Difference between cellular and Ad-Hoc Networks

CELLULAR Ad-Hoc NETWORKS


Infrastructure Networks Infrastructureless Networks
Fixed, pre-located cell sites and base
No base station, and rapid deployment
stations
Static backbone network topology Highly dynamic network topologies
Relatively caring environment and Hostile environment and irregular
stable connectivity connectivity
Detailed planning before base station Ad-Hoc network automatically forms
can be installed and adapts to changes
High setup costs Cost-effective
Large setup time Less setup time

5. What are the functions of each node in MANET?


• Forward the packet to the next hop
Before forwarding, Sender has to ensure that:
. the packet moves towards its destination
b. the number of hops(path length) to destination is minimum
c. Delay is minimized
d. Packet loss is mimimum through the path
. Path does not have a loop

7. List the Types of Communications.


• Unicast
o Message is sent to a single destination node
 Multicast

o Message is sent to a selected subset of network nodes


 Broadcast

 Broadcasting is a special case of multicasting

 Message is sent to all the nodes in the network

8. Define Proactive (table-driven) protocols.
 Also known as table-driven routing protocols
 Each node in the routing table maintains information about routes to every
other node in the network
 o Tables are updates frequently due to
• Changes in network topology
 • Node Movements
 N odes shutting down
o Nodes can determine the best route to adestination
 Generates a large number of control messages to keep. the routing
 tables up-to-date
o Generates overhead which consumes large part of available bandwidth
9. Define Reactive protocols.
  Also called as On-demand routing protocol
 Nodes do not maintain up-to-date routing information o

New routes are discovered only when required
 Uses flooding technique to determine the route
O Flooding technique is used when the node does not have routing knowledge

10. Compare MANET Vs VANET

MANET VANET
MANET - Mobile Adhoc NETwork VANET- Vehicular Adhoc NETworks
Nodes moves r£t?domly Nodes moves regularly
Mobility is low Mobility is high
Reliability is medium Reliability is high
Node lifetime depends on power source N ode lifetime depends on vehicle life
time
Network topology is sluggish and slow Network topology is frequent and fast
