该提案概述了一个全面的职业生涯规划，在无线移动的ad hoc网络领域的研究和教育的进步。研究计划由两个相辅相成的部分组成。第一部分是设计和开发一种新的架构，可扩展的多播路由在广域ad hoc网络，而第二部分提出了新的方法来评估无线ad hoc路由协议。该教育计划包括开发无线网络课程与实验室，除了提出新的方法，以提高学生在学习过程中的参与。 此外，提出了设计一个新的可扩展的架构，在大规模的ad hoc网络中的组播服务支持，其第一个提出的研究计划，旨在充分利用高/v自适应机制的各个组成部分的架构。具体来说，设计一个自适应的区域为基础的层次结构，通过接触节点的概念来增加网络覆盖范围。此外，提出了一种新的基于自适应选播的资源发现机制，用于支持组播业务。此外，引入地理多播地址分配映射组到会合区域。所有提出的机制是自配置的，并承诺理想的缩放和鲁棒性。

This proposal outlines a comprehensive career plan for advancement of research and education in the field of wireless mobile ad hoc networks. The research plan consists of two complementary pails. The first is to design and develop a novel architecture for scalable multicast routing in wide-area ad hoc networks, while the second part proposes new methodologies for evaluation of wireless ad hoc routing protocols. The educational plan includes developing wireless networking courses coupled with a laboratory, in addition to proposing novel methods to improve student participation in the learning process. Also, proposed to design a new scalable architecture for multicast services support in large-scale ad hoc networks, the first of its kind.The proposed research program intends to fully utilize high/v adaptive mechanisms in the various components of the architecture. Specifically, to design an adaptive zone-based hierarchy augmented by the notion of contact nodes to increase network coverage. In addition, to provide novel schemes for multicast service support, based on adaptive anycast for resource discovery. Also, introduce geographic multicast address allocation to map groups into rendezvous regions. All the proposed mechanisms are self-configurable, and promise desirable scaling and robustness properties.
