Survey and overview papers
I've listed below a few overview papers about the topic of ad hoc
networking. None of these are in any way required reading.
Overview of ad hoc routing:
Xiaoyan Hong, Kaixin Xu, and Mario Gerla, "Scalable Routing Protocols
for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, " IEEE Network, special issue on
Scalability in Communication Networks, July-Aug, 2002, pp. 11-21.

Work, 2(3):28-39, IEEE, May/June 2004.
Overview of simulation:
Note: This is a quite detailed paper - I suggest you read it for an
overview, rather than focus on data in particular tables and figures.
