   Wireless ad hoc network. A wireless ad hoc network [1] ( WANET) or mobile ad hoc network ( MANET) is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure, such as routers or wireless access points. Instead, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes.
