In the next generation of wireless communication systems, there will be a need for the rapid
deployment of independent mobile users. Significant examples include establishing survivable, efficient,
dynamic communication for emergency operations, disaster relief efforts, and military networks. Such
network scenarios cannot rely on centralized and organized connectivity, and can be conceived as
applications of mobile ad hoc networks. A MANET is an autonomous collection of mobile users that
communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Since the nodes are mobile, the
network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. The network is decentralized, where
all network activity including discovering the

When joining Siemens in 2001, I also extended my research interest towards radio net-
work planning methodologies. This area of research brought together my personal interest
in mobile communications and in the design of efficient algorithms and data structures.
Between 2001 and 2003, I participated in the EU project Momentum, which was target-
ing the performance evaluation and optimization of UMTS radio networks. I
With the rapid growth of the wireless mobile applications, wireless voice has
begun to challenge wireline voice, whereas the desire to access e-mail, surf the
Web or download music (e.g., MP3) wirelessly is increasing for wireless data.
While second generation (2G) cellular wireless systems, such as cdmaOne1,
GSM2 and TDMA3, introduced digital technology to wireless cellular systems
to deal with the increasing demand for wireless applications, there is still the
need for more spectrally efficient technologies for two reasons. First, wireless
voice capacity is expected to continue to grow. Second, the introduction of
high-speed wireless data will require more bandwidth.
