This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the event of a disastrous event leading to the loss of communication networks, ad-hoc networks are a potent wireless communication resource because of their unique features including being quickly deployable and having a distributed nature, large coverage area, reduced cost, and more. Flying ad-hoc networks (FANETS) and vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETS) are the future technology and can solve many problems in e-commerce delivery through drones, agriculture, vaccine delivery, and more. The unique characteristics of these networks and special requirements have created new challenges for the research community in recent decades. Modelling and Simulation of Fast-Moving Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs and VANETs) enhances the modelling and simulation aspects of FANETS and VANETS and understands the protocols in mac layer and network layers for fast-moving ad-hoc networks. It presents simulations run using various simulation tools and measures the performance metrics of ad-hoc networks. Covering topics such as emulation tools, secure communication, and modelling software, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for computer scientists, IT specialists, business leaders and managers, supply chain and logistics management, libraries, students, government officials, international organizations, law enforcement, engineers, agriculturalists, researchers, and academicians.
