State of multi-hop wireless networking

ABSTRACT

Multi-hop wireless networks are potentially useful in many applications, and consequently, research in recent years has explored many different instantiations of such networks. These include mobile ad hoc networks, mesh networks, sensor networks, and delay-tolerant networks. The goal of this talk is to assess the current state of the art in this area, and to identify the significant research challenges as well as practical difficulties in deploying such networks.
