The book is an attempt to present the advances in the networking technology -both theory and practice. This book provides a comprehensive reference material for students, instructors, researchers, engineers, and other professionals in building their understanding of ad hoc and ubiquitous computing. Each chapter on a particular topic is written in a tutorial manner and the chapters are organized so that the topics covered are easy to understand.
