MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -What is a wireless ad hoc network (WANET)? A wireless ad hoc network (WANET) is a type of local area network (LAN) that is built spontaneously to enable two or more wireless devices to be connected to each other without requiring typical network infrastructure equipment, such as a wireless router or access point.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ad-hoc mode refers to a wireless network structure where devices can communicate directly with each other. It is an additional feature that is specified in the 802.11 set of standards, which is referred to as an independent basic service set (IBSS). This type of wireless network is also called peer-to-peer mode.

Detailed explanation-3: -Connecting two computers does not always require a centrally managed network. Instead, users can set up an ad hoc network between two computers. The two devices communicate through an ethernet cable or wireless cards. However, this connection is only temporary.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two types of ad hoc networks. One is called an ad-hoc wireless network, and the other is a wireless point-to-point network. In this case, users can set up a type of local area network (LAN) that can be set up on the spot. In ad hoc mode, each device in a Wi-Fi network sends data to other devices.

Detailed explanation-5: -Whereas regular Wi-Fi “ad hoc” mode allows computers to relay signals in a mesh network without access points (APs), Wi-Fi Direct works only between two devices like Bluetooth, but faster.
