Reviews


Good as a introduction book.
This book is very good for introduction in ad-hoc networks and protocols. It also can be used for quick start in this field.
Another good thing for this book, it is very useful when you write your research paper or thesis because the author already summalized concepts and pros/cons of many ad-hoc network protocols. However, if you need to know and learn in deep detail, do not buy it. The author should insert "Introduction" in the title of this book. Furthermore, the price of this book is too expensive that it should be.

lack depth in all subjects
performance data are collected in a purely fixed wireless environment, lacking the most important part of mobility. it is very disappointing to read the whole book written by a PhD holder. the book introduces elementary concepts about everything. in essence, it tells nothing

Good book for consultants
Luckily I bought this book. It teaches me from basic to more
complex topics, allowing me to understand and master ad hoc networking. Found it rather a timely book for consultants in
the field of wireless office computing, networking, and automation. This book is very helpful, with lots of diagrams and clear explanations. This is the book I need and I highly recommend it to others. My engineers are reading them!

Good use for defense work
I have been using this book for parts of my defence
work. It has provided me the content I needed and
clear enough for me to understand. We were looking
for performance numbers and this book provided us
with the number we wanted from a working system.
Good coverage on issues overall.

Not a book to have
Luckily I had an ability to read this book before buying. I was very dissapointed with the content. There are quite a number of serious errors especially in TCP description. The coverage lacks depth. The new methodology proposed by the author in his unicast routing algorithm is just another kind of metrics with the same good old SPF idea behind (the description of the idea makes good 1/3 of the book).

I would not recommend it to anyone.
