Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of two or more devices or nodes or terminals with wireless communications and networking capability that communicate with each other without the aid of any centralized administrator also the wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange information without using any existing fixed network infrastructure.And it's an autonomous system in which mobile hosts connected by wireless links are free to be dynamically and some time act as routers at the same time, and we discuss in this paper the distinct characteristics of traditional wired networks, including network configuration may change at any time , there is no direction or limit the movement and so on, and thus needed a new optional path Agreement (Routing Protocol) to identify nodes for these actions communicate with each other path, An ideal choice way the agreement should not only be able to find the right path, and the Ad Hoc Network must be able to adapt to changing network of this type at any time.and we talk in details in this paper all the information of Mobile Ad Hoc Network which include the History of ad hoc, wireless ad hoc, wireless mobile approaches and types of mobile ad Hoc networks, and then we present more than 13 types of the routing Ad Hoc Networks protocols have been proposed.In this paper, the more representative of routing protocols, analysis of individual characteristics and advantages and disadvantages to collate and compare, and present the all applications or the Possible Service of Ad Hoc Networks KEYWORDSWireless Ad Hoc Networks, Mobility, Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols, Wireless Mobile Approaches, MANET, mobile ad-hoc sensor network, QoS, Ah Hoc Applications.! " #!# 88 past few years the rapid popularization of mobile phones can be seen to communicate with others anytime, anywhere, get the latest information, or exchange the required information is no longer a dream, And we have gradually become an integral part of life.Military purposes, as is often considerable danger in field environment, some of the major basic communication facilities, such as base stations, may not be available, in this case, different units, or if you want to communicate between the forces, we must rely on This cannot MANET network infrastructure limitations.In emergency relief, the mountain search and rescue operations at sea, or even have any infrastructure can not be expected to comply with the topographical constraints and the pressure of time under the pressure, Ad Hoc Network completely wireless and can be any mobile feature is especially suited to disaster relief operations.When personal communication devices and more powerful, some assembly occasions, if you need to exchange large amounts of data, whether the transmission of computer files or applications that display.if we can link into a temporary network structure, then the data transmission will be more efficient without the need for large-scale projection equipment would not have point to point link equipment (such as network line or transmission line).The current wireless LAN technology, Bluetooth is has attracted considerable attention as a development plan.Bluetooth's goal is to enable wireless devices to contact with each other, if the adding the design of Ad Hoc Network (MANET). RELATED BACKGROUNDNowadays, the information technology will be mainly based on wireless technology, the conventional mobile network and cellular are still, in some sense, limited by their need for infrastructure for instance based station, routers and so on.For the Mobile Ad Hoc Network, this final limitation is eliminated, and the Ad Hoc Network are the key in the evolution of wireless network and the Ad Hoc Network are typically composed of equal node which communication over wireless link without any central control.Although military tactical communication is still considered as the primary application for Ad Hoc Networks and commercial interest in this type of networks continues to grow.And all the applications such as rescue mission in time of natural disasters, law enforcement operation, and commercial as rescue and in the sensor network are few commercial examples, but in this time it's become very important in our life and they become use it.
