MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Definition(s): A wireless network that allows easy connection establishment between wireless client devices in the same physical area without the use of an infrastructure device, such as an access point or a base station.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ad hoc wireless networks are PC-to-PC wireless networks. There are no dedicated wireless access points (WAPs) to send and receive data over the wireless medium-your PC or laptop acts as both a WAP and a client to send and receive wireless data from other ad hoc clients directly.

Detailed explanation-5: -Based on their utilizations, these networks are categorized into: Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET), wireless sensor networks (WSN), wireless mesh networks (WMN) and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET).
