Many Challenges Yet to be Addressed
n Issues other than routing have received much less attention
– Comment from one conference: “there is, yet again, another
routing paper, oh no…..”
– However: there are still interesting problems as well (some of my
PhD students work on specific issues too)
n Other interesting problems:
– Applications for MANET
– Address assignment, node configuration 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
