Tentative Agenda:

Tutorial Description

This tutorial mainly addresses the problem of routing (how to direct a packet from a source machine to a destination machine), topology control (how to adjust network communication links as the environment changes such that the network capacity can be maximized), and medium access control (how to share the common resources among multiple users) in wireless mobile ad hoc networks (no infrastructure is present). Further topics including cross-layering (how to provide mean for inter-layer interactions w.r.t OSI model such that the network performance can be improved), QoS (provide a set of services to meet application requirements), and security (how to avoid maliciousness and to enforce cooperation) are also briefly covered. And finally, a realistic example (Widens) is given to illustrate how these issues have been used in practice.
