In the last few years, the exploit of ad hoc wireless networks has increased thanks to theircommercial and military potential. An application of wireless ad hoc networks is Bluetoothtechnology, which allows wireless communication among different devices. As a militaryapplication, we can report the establishment of communications between groups of soldiers ina not safe territory. Additionally, ad hoc networks are useful in emergency operations, whereno fixed infrastructure is feasible.A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) represents a system of wireless mobile nodes that canself-organize freely and dynamically into arbitrary and temporary network topology. On onehand, they can be quick deployed anywhere at anytime as they eliminate the complexity ofinfrastructure setup. On the other hand, other problems arise, such as route errors or higheroverhead, caused by the mobility of nodes.The main goal of this master’s thesis has been the improvement of the communication...
