Tesis doctoral de David Fusté Vilella
Mobile ad-hoc networks have received considerable attention in the wireless communications research community. nevertheless, its importance in industry is still low. Self-organized manets of smartphones or laptops can be used, for example, in military, public safety and disaster relief, conference, or campus environments. In order to enable communications between nodes inside a manet, a communications stack is needed in each node of the network. Research in this area was always focused on optimizing the tcp/ip stack, the stack par excellence in the majority of our current networks. Instead of designing a complete new communications stack, researchers focused their work mainly on improving already existing solutions coming from the wired networks. However, we think that a complete and new communications stack specifically designed for manets is needed if we want to achieve robust communications in this type of networks, which have properties very different from what wired networks have. In this thesis we present what nowadays is still missing: a novel communications stack specifically designed for mobile ad-hoc networks. The mstack is an example of how some of the basic assumptions and mechanisms used in wired or wireless infrastructure networks must be fundamentally modified when dealing with manets. All in all, we believe that the results presented in this thesis provide interesting insights into the potential of the mstack in manets.
