Characteristics of Ad Hoc Networks?

Ad Hoc Network systems are characterized by

- Autonomous networking on the spot for temporary purpose without any help of a fixed networking infrastructure -> Instant Network
- All devices can be mobile -> Dynamic Network
- Anywhere, Anytime, Anybody, Anything, … -> Ubiquitous Network
- Autonomous operation possible -> Stand-alone Network
- No wires or cabling -> Cheap Installation
- Relatively low capacity (~ dozens Mbps)
- Unpredictable connectivity -> Random Topology
