Many Challenges Yet to be Addressed
nIssues other than routing have received much less attention
–Comment from one conference: “there is, yet again, another routing paper, oh no…..” J
–However: there are still interesting problems as well (some of my PhD students work on specific issues too)
nOther interesting problems:
–Applications for MANET
–Address assignment, node configuration ΰ network management
–Support for real-time multimedia traffic (QoS)
–Security and access control
–Service discovery
–Improving interaction between protocol layers (cross-layer design)
–Integration with other wireless/wired technologies
