With so many devices around us, it is only logical to think how can we get those devices to connect with each other. Connecting such devices through a router or access point or cellular network is the most common way. However, there are also use cases where infrastructure such as router or cellular network is not available and still the devices need to communicate with each other. In such cases, an ad-hoc network comes to rescue – Wireless Ad-hoc Network or WANET.
