Following the pattern of the Internet growth in popularity, started
in the early 1990s, the current unprecedented expansion of wireless
technology promises to have an even greater effect on how people
communicate and interact, with considerable socio-economic impact
all over the world. The driving force behind this growth is the
remarkable progress in component miniaturization, integration, and
also devel- ments in waveforms, coding, and communication
protocols. Besides established infrastructurebased wireless
networks (cellular, WLAN, sat- lite) ad-hoc wireless networks
emerge as a new platform for distributed applications and for
personal communication in scenarios where deploying infrastructure
is not feasible. In ad-hoc wireless networks, each node is capable
of forwarding packets on behalf of other nodes, so that multi-hop
paths provide end-to-end connectivity. The increased flexibility
and mobility of ad-hoc wireless networks are favored for appli-
tions in law enforcement, homeland defense and military. In a world
where wireless networks become increasingly interoperable with each
other and with the high-speed wired Internet, personal
communication systems will transform into universal terminals with
instant access to variate content and able of handle demanding
tasks, such as multimedia and real-time video. With users roaming
between networks, and with wide variation in wireless link quality
even in a single domain, the communications terminal must continue
to provide a level of Quality of Service that is acceptable to the
user and conforms to a contracted Service Level Agreement.
