An ad hoc wireless network is a special type of wireless network in which a collection of mobile hosts with appropriate interfaces may form a temporary network, without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. Communication in an ad hoc wireless network is based on multiple hops. Packets are relayed by intermediate hosts between the source and the destination; that is, routes between two hosts may consist of hops through other hosts in the network.

Communication in an ad hoc wireless network is based on multiple hops. Packets are relayed by intermediate hosts between the source and the destination that is routes between two hosts may consist of hops through other hosts in the network. Mobility of hosts can cause unpredictable topology changes. Therefore the task of finding and maintaining routes in an ad hoc wireless networkis nontrivial. We can use a simple graph G F E to represent an ad hoc wireless network where V representsa setofwirelessmobile hosts and frcprcscntsasctoi edges.
