Wireless Ad Hoc Networks and base stations combine to build a hybrid wireless ad hoc network. Wireless ad hoc network data is transmitted to the destination via a multi-hop method due to the lack of infrastructure. In some cases, a group of base stations is the goal of the wired infrastructure, which is embedded within the ad hoc networks and connected by wired links, is to improve the performance of the entire network. Hybrid wireless ad hoc networks are the name given to the resulting network. 31 papers that were submitted in response to the open call for papers on hybrid wireless ad hoc networks were chosen for inclusion in this special issue.
