The Terminodes Project: Towards Mobile Ad-Hoc WAN
Résumé
The Terminode project follows a system approach to investigate wide area, large, totally wireless networks that we call mobile ad-hoc wide area networks. A netw ork of terminodes is an autonomous, self-operated, wireless multimedia network, independent of any infrastructure. In this paper we present the main challenges and certain initial technical directions.

Réseau sans fil
Un réseau sans fil est un réseau informatique numérique qui connecte différents postes ou systèmes entre eux par ondes radio. Il peut être associé à un réseau de télécommunications pour réaliser des interconnexions à distance entre nœuds. 1896 : Guglielmo Marconi réalise les premières transmissions sans fil (télégraphie sans fil) après que Nikola Tesla a déposé les premiers brevets dans ce domaine. 1980 : invention d'Internet et des normes 802 de l'IEEE. La norme la plus utilisée actuellement pour les réseaux sans fil est la norme IEEE 802.
Wireless ad hoc network
A wireless ad hoc network (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. The determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically on the basis of network connectivity and the routing algorithm in use.
Wireless LAN
A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building. This gives users the ability to move around within the area and remain connected to the network. Through a gateway, a WLAN can also provide a connection to the wider Internet. Wireless LANs based on the IEEE 802.11 standards are the most widely used computer networks in the world.

In all networks, link or route capacities fluctuate for multiple reasons, e.g., fading and multi-path effects on wireless channels, interference and contending users on a shared medium, varying loads in WAN routers, impedance changes on power-line channels ...
