Hi Hang Su, Although these two expressions are usually used as synonims I think that there could be a slight difference in the context you are using them. I prefer to use the term *ad hoc* when I want to focus on the self-organizing capability of nodes, while I prefer to use the term *mesh* when I want to refer to the type of connections among nodes in the network (that is every node can communicate in a distributed fashion with all the nodes) Mobility is a particular characteristic of nodes and if you want to highlight this characteristic as critical in the application you are considering you could use the term MANETs (Mobile Ad hoc NETworks). This is just my opinion (de gustibus non est disputandum), the important thing IMHO is to agree on a definition (chosen on an ad hoc basis :-) ) if there are different points of view.

Is there any "include" relation between them? In the mesh networks, is the mobility of nodes important? Any suggestion would be appreciate.
