Mobile ad hoc networks are infrastructure-less wireless networks; all nodes can quickly share information without using any fixed infrastructure like base station or access point. Wireless ad hoc networks are characterized by frequent topology changes, unreliable wireless channel, network congestion, and resource contention. Multimedia applications usually are bandwidth hungry with stringent delay, jitter, and loss requirements. Designing ad hoc networks which support multimedia applications, hence, is considered a hard task. The hidden and exposed terminal problems are the main which consequently reduces the network capacity. Hidden and exposed nodes reduce the performance of the wireless ad hoc networks. Access delay is the major parameter that is to be taken under consideration. Due to hidden and exposed terminal problems, the network suffers from a serious unfairness problem.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) form a class of multi-hop wireless networks that can easily be deployed on-the-fly. These are autonomous systems that do not require existing infrastructure; each participating node in the network acts as a host as well as a packet-forwarding router. In addition to the difficulties experienced by conventional wireless networks, such as wireless interference, noise and obstructions from the environment, hidden/exposed terminal problems, and limited physical security, MANETs are also characterized by dynamically changing network topology and energy constraints.
