传感器网络与自组织网络应用潜力分析

文章介绍了无线传感器网络及自组织(Ad hoc)网络的现状,指出了无线传感器网络与Ad hoc网络的区别,并对无线传感器网络及Ad hoc网络的市场需求进行了分析;认为无线传感器网络在物流、智能交通、医疗保健、工业监控、安全、军事国防、生态环境、防灾救灾等应用领域具有极大的潜力,而Ad hoc网络在战地通信、应急及临时通信、无线个域网、网状无线局域网、蜂窝移动通信系统的多跳增强等领域可以发挥重要作用;还对两种网络进一步应用面临的主要障碍进行了说明.

Application Potential of Sensor Networks and Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper, the R&D status of the sensor network and the Ad hoc network is briefly introduced. The differences between them and their market demands are then analyzed. The sensor network is thought to have great application potential in the fields of logistics, intelligent transport systems, medicare, industrial monitoring, security, military and national defense, environments and disaster relief and prevention. And the Ad hoc network is thought to play an important role in communication at battlefields, emergency and temporary communication, wireless personal area network and mesh wireless local area network. Moreover, the multi-hop transfer mechanism of the Ad hoc network optimizes cellular mobile communication systems. In the end, the main obstacles to the further application of these two networks are pointed out.
