Team Member Duties : Neeraj Kumar ( Team Leader )

A group of wireless sensor nodes (devices) dynamically constructs a temporary network without the exercise of any pre-existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. The main goal of ad-hoc networking is multihop broadcasting in which packets are transferred from source node to destination node through the intermediate nodes (hops). The main function of multi hop WSN is to enable communication between two terminal devices through a bit of middle nodes, which are transferring information from one level to another level. On the foundation of network connectivity, it dynamically gets to determine that which nodes should get included in routing, each node involved in routing transmit the data to further

Team leadership can be very instrumental in the success of a project to ensure that the project stays on schedule, encouraging use of best practices, planning and scheduling activities, problem solving and helping to facilitate control. This is achieved through team dynamics, deliverables and meeting customer expectations. The utilization of a team based approach serves to improve performance and will ultimately increase the success of a project. Nick of CanGo has been assigned the Project Manager for

Unfortunately, it is a big overhead to maintain routing tables in the mobile ad hoc network

The Mobile ad hoc networks is one of the emerging technologies today. The instability of the nodes in a mobile ad hoc network makes it difficult to calculate the reliability of the network. When a node moves freely move in a

Decided on how to implement changes and addressing issues and re-planning implementation plans. Also co-ordinating activities of every member of the team, collating work products into the whole or overall goal can be a big challenge to the team and the leader or manager of the team.

Project Approach. Envisioning a project is a lot easier than executing it. One can’t expect a project to be smooth sailing without having a solid approach to navigate it without any major turbulence. It is imperative to identify the scope of project. General assignment of the work can’t really tell what lies beneath it. Once had an objective, it then needs to be broken down into sub parts. It is also very important to find out the outcome of the project and spell out the goals clearly enough to have better understanding and meeting of minds. Understanding and delineating the project tasks is of paramount importance. One needs to understand what it involves to smoothly get the job done. Identifying players can help understand and then distribute work and tasks. Identify the project players so that task could be outsourced to the right candidates. It’s also imperative to establish project timeline. The project components shall be segmented to ensure smooth and sequential process without delaying the project. Implement PODC that stands for Plan, Organize, Direct, and Control. This approach ensures the timely completion of the project without it being sidetracked from the main course.

After getting started in the company and performing and tasking with the co-workers, My next step will be Monitoring and Controlling the project. Monitoring includes collecting, measuring and defining the project management plan. Monitoring and Controlling is something that current status of your project after Initiation, planning and execution. In this period I will have to translate the project execution data form the gathering requirements to the client needs.

Determine if management/leadership has adequate project management skillsets. If not, make a strategic hire. Prioritize all projects and insist on efficient communication and execution using project management tools and leadership.

It is important for team members to be consulted and kept informed of a projects progress and has feedback provided in regards to their own performance standards. By producing and actively involving project members in all aspects of the procedures and giving detailed feedback on their progress any issues can be resolved, good progress commended and they will know if they are completing the tasks adequate or may need assistance.

Furthermore, the temporary nature of project reflects on the project team to be temporary as well (Burke 2010, p.22). Thus, it is the responsibilities of the project manager to build and lead the teamwork for every project he manages. Moreover, the process of team building is continues during the lifecycle of the project as the changes in projects are inevitable (PMBOK Guide, 2008, p.418). A general review of the project management literature shows that there is a heavy concentration on the importance of team leadership. According to a study cited in Schwalbe (2006, p. 18), depending on a questionnaire done by one hundred project managers leadership is the most significant characteristic of effective project managers. Similarly, Nokes & Killy (2007, p.16) and Human (cited in Fisher 2011, p996) listed leadership and teamwork skills as the most important skills in project management. On the other hand, general manager needs the leadership and team management skills (Samson & Draft 2012, p.397) and (Hunsaker 2005, p. 11). However, with the well-defined lines of functional departments in most organizations there is no need for extensive teambuilding skills as it is required in projects. Thus leadership and team management skills are required in both project and general management. Though, project managers should pay more attention to leadership and teambuilding skills

Ability to Manage: To manage project effectively we decided to conduct weekly meeting with project team and discuss the different aspects of the project. Before every meeting ,we used to share the agenda of meeting so that everyone will be well aware of the points to be discussed and put their thoughts. We used email as well as SMS for the communication among team members. Our meeting was organized and fruitful in terms of outcome. We also used to prepare minutes of meetings (MOM) and circulate to team members after meetings.

Clear responsibilities and roles, the structure of the team, job descriptions, competencies, accountabilities, resources, tools and equipment should all be provided. Problem solving, communicating, managing conflicts, tasks, planning meetings, performance evaluation, managing change and decision making should follow clear procedures ensuring effective team working. Positive relationships, mutual respect and trust, continuing support and inclusion, valuing diversity and listening to feedback can overcome challenges to effective team performance. A strong credible leader with clear expectations can also overcome challenges to an effective team.

Help each individual to complete his task. Every team should follow the planned the assignment which set by the director of the organization because every team objective is linked to organizational objective. Team should inform the project manager of task status and any problem arisen. Every team should select right person having right skill and knowledge to compete the task.

MANETs will be consisting of many digital devices, in which the node exhibits mobile nature. This has been a great challenge for researchers to build MANET where peer to peer communication has its own advantages as it reduces the overhead of maintain and monitoring an centralized servers. Due the rapid growth of interest of mobile users towards social networking applications, that allows them to share their files. This results in increase in number of mobile users to get used or joining such networks day by day.

Many networks are infrastructure less networks where the nodes can configure dynamically to form a useful network. There are many challenges in wireless networks as explored in [1]. The challenges are as follows.
