Editing Wireless network (section)

=== Wireless ad hoc network ===
A wireless ad hoc network, also known as a [[wireless mesh network]] or [[mobile ad hoc network]] (MANET), is a wireless network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. Each node forwards messages on behalf of the other nodes and each node performs routing.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Yu|first1=Jiguo|last2=Wang|first2=Nannan|last3=Wang|first3=Guanghui|last4=Yu|first4=Dongxiao|date=2013-01-01|title=Connected dominating sets in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks – A comprehensive survey|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S014036641200374X|journal=Computer Communications|language=en|volume=36|issue=2|pages=121–134|doi=10.1016/j.comcom.2012.10.005|url-access=subscription}}</ref> Ad hoc networks can "self-heal", automatically re-routing around a node that has lost power. Various network layer protocols are needed to realize ad hoc mobile networks, such as Distance Sequenced Distance Vector routing, [[Associativity-Based Routing]], Ad hoc on-demand [[distance-vector routing]], and [[Dynamic Source Routing]].
