Wireless Network Design: Optimization Models and Solution ...

9.6 Conclusion
In this chapter, we summarized the main issues in ad hoc networks. We started
from the first ad hoc network created in the 70’s and then we presented the current
ad hoc standards. Those standards could offer communication on a single hop as
in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and on a multi-hop such as MANET. The chapter ends by
introducing the existing frameworks that propose mechanisms to provide quality of
service on the different existing MANET protocols. Nowadays, the tendencies are
oriented to make those proposals implementable on existing materials. Proposed
implementations still suffer from the lack of physical standards to be deterministic
and to have the ability to guaranty the quality or to provide an accurate reference of
this quality.
