The Diverse Technology of MANETs: A Survey of Applications and Challenges

Fatemeh Safari*, Izabela Savic, Herb Kunze, Jason Ernst, and Daniel Gillis

Abstract—In recent years, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have shown much potential in providing wireless network solutions for a variety of situations. MANETs are made up of a variety of devices (both mobile and internet of things (IoT)) which form a wireless network that provides wireless network functionality and cloud services and can be used to provide wireless services to devices in areas where fixed infrastructure is not accessible. Although it is not necessary for a node to be connected to fixed wireless or cellular infrastructure for the network, even a single node connected to infrastructure opens up a wide range of new research opportunities and applications. Due to the variety of compatible devices, MANETs are the perfect technology for a wide variety of scenarios, such as: military, search and rescue operations, and more. Our contribution is a complete survey of the applications of MANETs, which to our knowledge has not been previously documented. This survey will discuss the industries MANETs are used in (e.g. education, smart city, etc.), the benefits and services they can provide users, and will also explore the challenges this technology still experiences

Index Terms—Applications, challenges, emergency services, MANET, military, mobile ad hoc network, natural disaster, smart city
