A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of battery-powered mobile
nodes connected by relatively lower bandwidth wireless links. Each
node has an area of influence called cell, only within which others
can receive its transmissions. Due to no fixed infrastructures, all
nodes can move freely, the network topology may change rapidly and
unpredictably over time, and nodes have to form their own
cooperative infrastructures. Thus, each node operates as an
autonomous end system and a router for others in the network. An ad
hoc network is of interest because there is no prior investment for
fixed infrastructures, it can be easily deployed in a short time,
and end users can access and manipulate data anytime and anywhere.
Examples of its applications include law enforcement operations,
battlefield applications, natural disaster recovery situations
where the communication infrastructures have been destroyed,
self-organizing sensor networks for data collecting, interactive
lectures or conferences for data exchanging without pre-installed
infrastructures. However, these applications cannot be realized
without efficient routing protocols. This book focuses on scalable
routing in clustered MANET
