Ad hoc routing protocols are necessary for mobile networks, as fixed routing protocols are not suitable. Two approaches are table-based and on-demand, but both have drawbacks. A combination of both can be used to reconfigure networks quickly and include security measures. An ad hoc routing protocol is a method of sending communications over a network […]
An ad hoc WLAN is a network where devices communicate directly without a central routing system, commonly used for sharing information. It bypasses standard routing and communication difficulties, and was popular before the internet. The primary purpose is privacy, as it requires direct connection and special wireless protocol. A wireless local access network (WLAN) is […]
Ad hoc networks are created for a specific purpose and consist of wireless devices that communicate directly with each other. They don’t go through a central hub and can be closed or shared with a public or private network. They are commonly used for portable video game systems and can be thought of as a […]
Ad hoc software refers to software that is tested or built without specific planning. It is often used for testing software products, but some caution against it. Alternatives include acceptance and regression testing. There is controversy over which testing methods are best, and some feel the term “ad hoc software” is overused. Ad hoc software […]
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) allow wireless interconnection of devices, with each device acting as a node. MANETs are self-configuring and can be useful in applications such as ad hoc vehicular networks (VANET) and intelligent ad hoc vehicular networks (InVANET) for traffic data, efficient vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and off-grid communication. InVANET can also use Wi-Fi technologies […]
Wireless local area networks use ad hoc and infrastructure modes to connect devices. Ad hoc mode is best for small home networks, while infrastructure mode requires an access point and is better for large networks. Infrastructure mode supports more features and encryption methods but is slower and more expensive to set up. Ad hoc and […]
Ad hoc analytics is analyzing data on demand to answer specific business questions. It can be used to fill gaps in regular reports or make investment decisions. The output varies and depends on the data used for analysis. Ad hoc analytics is the discipline of analyzing data on a need or demand basis. This analysis […]
An ad hoc report is a specific report created in response to a request for information, often by administrative personnel using software templates. It can include both internal and external data and is used to guide decision-making in areas such as new product launches and market research. The report must still meet professional presentation standards. […]
Post hoc fallacy is a logical error where one event is assumed to have caused another just because it happened after it. It has led to many superstitions and false beliefs throughout history. This misconception is not limited to primitive cultures and is still prevalent in modern times, leading to beliefs in luck charms and […]
Ad hoc committees are temporary groups set up to address specific issues and generate recommendations or resolutions. They can be diverse and draw members from multiple agencies and organizations. Legislative bodies use them to make recommendations, and their power and resources vary. An ad hoc committee is a group set up to consider a specific […]
Ad hoc query software allows users to create specific queries without technical knowledge. Ad hoc analysis is widely used in business intelligence for finding specific information. Executives can use ad hoc analytics without consulting a technical person, making it useful for quick business decisions. An ad hoc query is a term originally used in computer […]
