An ad-hoc network does not require an access point. Typically, if an access point is involved then it is not strictly an ad-hoc network, but would be an infrastructure network.
A wireless mesh network is a type of ad hoc network. The difference would be that clients on mesh networks are dedicated to the role of routing by relying on an infrastructure of sorts, while ad hoc clients are generally user to user and not fixed to any kind of infrastructure.
Mobile ad hoc networks refer to the networks that cellphones and other mobile devices are connected to. Laptops and computers may also connect to such networks by means of tethering to a mobile device.
Advantage: Easy to set up Cheap Disadvantage: Lack of security. Thus ad-hoc network is also called unsecure networks.
Ad hoc.
Ad hoc mode is A wireless network is a decentralized wireless network. The network is is call an ad hoc network because each computer forwards data for other computers. Wired networks use routers to perform the task of routing data from on computer to another.
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-configuring infrastructureless network of mobile devices connected by wireless.Each device in a MANET is free to move independently in any direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently. Each must forward traffic unrelated to its own use, and therefore be a router. The primary challenge in building a MANET is equipping each device to continuously maintain the information required to properly route traffic. Such networks may operate by themselves or may be connected to the larger Internet.MANETs are a kind of wireless ad hoc networks that usually has a routable networking environment on top of a Link Layer ad hoc network.A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network.[1] The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks oraccess points in managed (infrastructure) wireless networks. Instead, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes, so the determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically on the basis of network connectivity.
in an ad hoc manner
Because CSMA/CD does not prevent Hidden terminal problem. so it is onlly applicable in Wired networks.
